«Nektar» -the new red variety wine grape aromatic high quality

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – The multi-annual study of the International Genetic Bank of the Grape Vine has shown that red varieties are enough, but the red varieties that produce high-quality red wine are minimal. This paper presents is the create, the study and amplographic description the new red variety “Nektar”. The new red variety “Nektar” was created at the Athens Vineyard Institute in 2012.  

Material and methods – The variety created by crossing by the method of hybridization of the newly Greek variety “Makedonas” (“Ksinomauro” x “Cabernet Sauvignon”) with the newly Greek variety “Tihi” (“Augoulato” with the pollen mix of varieties Cabernet-Sauvignon and Grenache noir).

Results – The “Nektar” is is a new red grape variety wine-making quality aromatic. The duration of the variety from budburst to maturity is 136-145 days. The variety is very strong with large shoots growth (2.1 – 3.0 m). The growth of shoots is higherover 95 %. The average mass of cluster is 360 g and the yield are high, 15-20 t / ha. The “Nektar” grape variety is medium, spheric,middle density, the diameter 15 mm, with anaverage weight of 1,9 g and a blue-black color.The flower is hermaphrodite. The pollen is fertile.The quantity of seeds in berry is3-4. The skin is thick with high strength. The flesh isnone or very weak, with a special flavor of the variety, green paper. The content of sugar in must is greater than 24 %. The “Nektar” variety, based on its ampelographic and natural characteristics, is classified in the group of varieties convarietasponticaNeqr. It is distinguishedfrom by its high resistance to drought and fungal diseases compared to other varieties of Vitis vinifera L. The variety is intended for the production of high-quality red wines, and very aromatic juices. Can be used in the genetic improvement of vitis vinifera varieties as a qualitydonor

Using ΔC13 to assess viticultural and oenological suitability for Sangiovese of different pedoclimatic conditions in Chianti

A two years trial was carried out in Chianti (Central Italy) to assess at the detailed scale the viticultural and oenological suitability for Sangiovese of different pedoclimatic conditions, by means of the ΔC13 measured in the must sugars

THE EFFECT OF BENTONITE FINING ON THE VOLATILE AND NON-VOLATILE PROFILE OF ITALIAN WHITE WINES

Marselan wines have an unusual high proportion of seed derived tannins from grapes having high proportions of skins, which are rich in tannins. But the causes behind this characteristic have not yet been identified. In vintage 2023 wines were made at experimental scale (9 kg by experimental unit) from Arinarnoa, Marselan and Tannat Vitis vinifera grape cultivars by traditional maceration, and by techniques aimed to increase the wine content in skin derived tannin: addition of extraction enzymes, addition at vatting of grape-skin enological tannins, or by extended maceration, known to increase the seed derived tannin contents of wines. Macerations were of 7 days, except in the extended macerations that were of 15 days.

Bio‐metaethics viticulture proposed by the Giesco. Direct charter with producers. Example of evaluation of training systems

The key points of the current GiESCO charter ‘BIO‐MetaEthics’ are exposed. The new development in cooperation with Giovanni Cargnello is to apply the principles and the content into the practice by establishing a direct contract with producers and other actors of the wine sector. An evaluation sheet is proposed and tested in a new advanced vineyard. For illustrating the methodology of evaluation, the example of the choice of the training systems is detailed on a wide range of situations.

Vineyard innovative tools based on the integration of earth observation services and in-field sensors (VitiGEOSS project)

Climate change is having an unprecedented impact on the wine industry, which is one of the major agricultural sectors around the world. Global warming, combined with the variation in rainfall patterns and the increase in frequency of extreme weather events, is significantly influencing vine physiology and exposing, more frequently, plants to severe biotic and abiotic stresses. This represents a challenge for viticulturists who need to take complex decisions to adjust vineyard management and achieve oenological goals.

Potential application of indigenous Pichia kluyveri for enhanced wine aroma quality

Aims: In previous work, five indigenous Pichia kluyveri strains, GS1-1, FS-2-7, HS-2-1, C730 and C732, were isolated and selected from spontaneous fermented wines from Ningxia and Gansu. The aims of this study were to 1) evaluate resistance of these strains to environmental stressors that may restrict their growth and the progress of alcoholic fermentation; 2) Investigate their fermentation dynamics; 3) Characterise aroma profiles of Cabernet Sauvignon wines made from mixed cultures of P. kluyveri and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
