Chemical profiling and sensory analysis of wines from resistant hybrid grape cultivars vs conventional wines

Abstract

Recently, there has been a shift toward sustainable wine production, according to EU policy (F2F and Green Deal), to reduce pesticide usage, improve workplace health and safety, and prevent the impacts of climate change. These trends have gained the interest of consumers and winemakers. The cultivation of disease resistant hybrid grape cultivars (DRHGC), known as ‘PIWI’ grapes can help with these objectives [1]. This study aimed to profile white and red wines produced from DRHGC in South Tyrol (Italy). Wines produced from DRHGCs were compared with conventional wines produced by the same wineries. The measured parameters were residual sugars, organic acids, alcohol content, pigments and other phenolics by LC-QqQ/MS, colorimetric indexes (CIELab); and volatile profiles (HS-SPME-GCxGC-ToF/MS [2]). The Projective Mapping (napping) sensory protocol and the RATA (rate-all-that-apply) method were used to provide rapid categorization and characterization of DRHGC and conventional wines using an internal panel of 19 assessors (aged 25-40 years old). Preliminary analytical results for red wines showed that diglucosylated and triglucosylated anthocyanins were most common, and they were present also as acetylated and p-coumaroylated esters. The profile of cyclic proanthocyanidins was investigated for the first time in PIWI wines, such us ‘Solaris’, ‘Bronner’, ‘Muskaris’, ‘Johanniter’, ‘Souvignier gris’, ‘Regent’, and ‘Cabernet Cortis’, and compared with conventional white and red wines.

The sensory attributes found in PIWI white wines were “tree fruit” (pear, green apple) in ‘Solaris’ and ‘Bronner’, “caramelized” (honey) and “floral” (rosewater) in ‘Muskaris’, “stone fruit” (peach) in ‘Johanniter’, and “woody” (oak and coffee) in ‘Souvignier gris’  In contrast, sensory attribute “vegetative” (green bell pepper) conventional wines was perceived more  in Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris as conventional wines.

The combination of sensory evaluation, chemical analysis, and multivariate statistical methods provided a deeper and more complete understanding of the quality of the wines under investigation.

Influence of irrigation frequency on berry phenolic composition of red grape varieties cultivated in four spanish wine-growing regions

The global warming phenomenon involves the frequency of extreme meteorological events accompanied by a change in rainfall distribution. Irrigation frequency (IF) affects the spatial and temporal soil water distribution but its effects on the phenolic composition of the grape have been scarcely studied. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of four deficit irrigation frequencies of 30 % ETo: one irrigation per day (T01), two irrigations per week (T03), one irrigation per week (T07) and one irrigation every two weeks (T15) on berry phenolic composition at harvest.

Applicability of spectrofluorometry and voltammetry in combination with machine learning approaches for authentication of DOCa Rioja Tempranillo wines

The main objective of the work was to develop a simple, robust and selective analytical tool that allows predicting the authenticity of Tempranillo wines from DOCa Rioja. The techniques of voltammetry and absorbance-transmission and fluorescence excitation emission matrix (A-TEEM) spectroscopy have been applied in combination with machine learning (ML) algorithms to classify red wines from DOCa Rioja according to region (Alavesa, Alta or Oriental) and category (young, crianza or reserva).

Effects of progeny in the modulation of the response to water stress in isohydric and anisohydric varieties

Each grapevine variety has a specific water use regulation response under drought, and it is still unclear whether this regulation results from innate genotypic behavior (iso- and anisohydric), or is a response to environmental factors, namely recurrent water stress priming effects. In the present work, we explored the influence of the field-grown genotypes’ drought memory in the drought-response phenotype of their vegetative progenies, in Trincadeira (isohydric) and Castelão (anisohydric) varieties under a drought event followed by recovery in a glasshouse. Cuttings from both cultivars subjected to full irrigation (FI) and non-irrigation (NI) treatments for 5 consecutive years were used.

Sustainable management of grapevine trunk diseases

Grapevine trunk diseases (GTD) occur wherever grapes are grown and are considered the main biotic factor reducing yields and shortening vineyards’ lifespan. Currently, no product is available to eradicate GTD once grapevines are infected. Therefore, prophylactic strategies based on pruning wound protection and ‘remedial surgery’, the only eradication method based on the elimination of infected wood and renewal of the vine by means of new canes or suckers, are the only effective strategies available. The Canadian grape and wine industry focusses on a sustainable production and thus, looking for alternatives to chemicals for disease management is a top priority.
