Early Elgo Demetra: the new pink table variety seedless with big berry and resistant

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – This paper presents is the create, the study and amplographic description the new pink “Early Elgo Demetra” variety. The seedless resistant grape variety “Early Elgo Demetra” was created by P. Zamanidis at the Athens Vine Department of the Institute of Olive and Subtropical Plants, in 2014.

Material and methods – The variety created by crossing with the hybridization method of the Russian resistant table variety “Talisman” with the newly Greek variety “Volga” (“Talisman” with a mixture of pollen “Perlet” and “Sultanina”). Created variety is a complex hybrid between dissimilar species of European, American and Far East (V. Amurensis). 

Results – The duration of the “Early Elgo Demetra” variety from budburst to maturity is 126-135 days. The variety is strong with very large shoots growth (2.1 – 3.0 m). The growth of shoots is higher over 95%. The shoot and the tip of the young shoot are green-colored and hairless. The yield is high more than 40 t / ha. The average weight of the cluster is 700 g. The content of sugar is high. The “Early Elgo Demetra” grape is large, conical, low density, with a long elliptical shape, pink color, with an average weight of until to 8 g, and has small pseudo-seed that are not understood in consumption. The mature leaf is medium size, symmetrical, and five sort lobs. The berry is sort elliptical with skin is thin and high resistance. The flesh has a pleasant taste. The grape is kept on for a long time. It is intended for edible use. It is kept for a long time in refrigerators and has excellent transport behavior. It has high resistance to fungal diseases, insects, high resistance to low temperatures, high resistance to drought and tolerant in Phylloxera compared to other varieties of Vitis vinifera. Can be used in the genetic improvement of Vitis vinifera varieties as a resistance donor, for fungal diseases, insects and low temperature.

The FEM grapevine breeding program: new registered varieties (mid-)resistant to the main ampelopathies

“Vinum debet esse naturale ex genimine vitis et non corruptum”. The Eucharistic wine must be made with pure grapes that must not be contaminated in any way. This is how wine was born in the monastery of the Augustinians, and that is how the genetic improvement of grapevine implemented over the decades at the Agricultural Institute of San Michele all’Adige (since 1874; Trentino – Italy) has been oriented to make the cultivation of grapes always more sustainable. This concept is still current and meets the worldwide urgent need of reducing the use of chemicals, under a climate crisis scenario. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the varieties introduced in Trentino and the new cultivars produced by pioneer breeders have already embraced the principle of sustainable viticulture.

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE VOLATILE COMPOUNDS PROFILE OF COMMERCIAL GRAPPAS OBTAINED FROM THE POMACE OF AMARONE WINES

Grappa is a traditional Italian alcoholic beverage, with an alcohol content generally between 40-60% vol., obtained from the distillation of grape pomace used for the production of wine. Grappa are often aged in wooden barrels. There are various types of grappa: young, aromatic, aged, extra-aged depending on whether the distillate comes from aromatic vines or is aged in wooden barrels for shorter or longer periods. There is also flavored grappa if herbs, fruit or roots are added. All this makes it an extremely heterogeneous product both from an organoleptic and compositional point of view.
