Characterization of different clone candidates of xinomavro according to their phenolic composition

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study ‐ The aim of this study is the examination of wines of 9 different clones of a Greek grape variety Xinomavro, (ΧE1, X19, X22, X28, ΧE2 X30, X31, X35, X36, X37), with regards to their phenolic and anthocyanin content and chemical composition.

Material and methods ‐ Grapes were collected in vintage 2016, from an established Xinomavro vineyard, planted with the nine clones each one represented by fifty plants. The vineyard was established in 2011, with planted material selected according to the corresponding E.U. legislation for vine clone selection. Grapes were collected at harvest; general chemical analyses of each clone were recorded and the grapes were vinified under the same winemaking protocol and conditions. Monomeric anthocyanins, tannin mean degree of polymerization (mDP), galloylation percentage (%G), percentage of prodelphinidins (% P) and total tannin content, were determined in the produced wines by High Performance Liquid Chromatographer (HPLC) and spectrophotometer.

Results ‐ In most analyses performed an influence of clone selection was observed. Clones XE1, X19, X37, X35 and X31 differentiate from the clones evaluated in parameters crucial for wine quality such as maturity, acidity, anthocyanin, phenolic content and composition. It is therefore a step towards identifying clone characteristics dependent to the viticulture and winemaking needs.

Effects of post-fermentative cold maceration on chemical and sensory characteristics of Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Montepulciano wines

Astringency sensation decreases slowly during the aging of red wine. Complex reactions of condensation and precipitation of wine polyphenols are involved in this phenomenon. Wine composition and conditions of aging, such as temperature and oxygen availability, strongly influence evolution of the phenol matrix. Recently, a Post-Fermentative cold Maceration (PFM) technique was tested with the aim of accelerating reactions leading to the reduction of astringency and exploiting chemical compounds not extracted from the solid parts of grapes during the previous traditional maceration phase. To this purpose, an innovative maceration system was engineered and used to perform PFM trials on marc derived from vinification of different varieties of red grapes.

Development of the geographic indication vale do São Francisco for tropical wines in Brazil

Aim: Geographical Indications-GI are commonly used to protect territorial products around the world, such as cheese and wine. This qualification is useful because it improves the producer’s organization, protects and valorizes the distinct origin and quality of the product, increases recognition and notoriety, and adds value for products. Tropical wines are mainly produced in Brazil, India,

Shoot positioning: effect on physiological, vegetative and reproductive parameters

[English version below]

On a étudié durant deux saisons de croissance (2002/2003 et 2003/2004) l’effet de l’orientation vertical des rameaux sur les paramètres physiologiques, végétatifs et reproductifs dans la région de Stellenbosch dans un vignoble du cépage Merlot sur 99 R conduite à espalier et taillé a cordon coursonné. Les vignes étaient espacées 2.7 x 1.5 m. L’irrigation a été appliquée quand la baie avait la dimension d’un pois et a la véraison.

Melatonin priming retards fungal decay in postharvest table grapes 

Postharvest losses of fruits may reach in some cases 40% in developed countries. This food waste has a significant carbon footprint and makes a major contribution toward greenhouse gas emissions so sustainable postharvest strategies are being investigated.
Melatonin, a well-known mammalian neurohormone, has been investigated as a priming agent to slow down fungal decay progression in postharvest climacteric and some non-climacteric fruits. However, the molecular and metabolic mechanisms responsible for such enhancement of disease tolerance are largely unknown.
