Radiation-associated effects on regulated deficit irrigation management in grapevine cv. Cabernet Sauvignon

Abstract

The main challenge of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) research is to isolate the factors that come with RDI, the direct effect of plant water status from the indirect ones like increased radiation and temperature changes on the cluster zone. This study aims to isolate the effects of vine water status from the effects of increased radiation on the phenolic composition of grapes subjected to RDI.

A three-year study on an RDI experiment where radiation was controlled was implemented in a commercial vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon in Chile. Four RDI treatments based on partial evapotranspiration (ET) irrigation were established. Irrigation treatments were 100% ET, 70% ET, 50-100% ET (50% ET before veraison and 100% ET afterward), and 35-100% ET (35% ET before veraison and 100% ET afterward). Radiation in the cluster zone was measured on a weekly basis and shading nets were installed in part of the trial to reduce radiation as soon as the RDI treatment started to increase it. Also, leaf removal was applied to the control treatment to increase radiation at the same levels as RDI treatments. Anthocyanins, Flavan-3-ols, and Flavonols were measured at harvest.

Findings reveal that increased radiation on the control due to leaf removal does not reduce the concentration of flavan-3-ols and the water deficit effect is maintained in shaded vines. Regarding flavonols all of them increased due to radiation in the leaf removal control, some of them maintained the effect RDI in shaded vines like myricetin but others lost their effect like quercetin.

Polyphenolic profile and dietary fiber content of skins and seeds from unfermented and fermented grape pomace

The valorization of winemaking byproducts is subordinated to the knowledge of their chemical characteristics. This work concerned the determination of the polyphenolic profile and the dietary fiber content of skins and seeds from unfermented and fermented pomace of different cultivars (Moscato bianco, Cortese, Arneis, Pinot Noir, Barbera, Grignolino, Nebbiolo), sampled from some wineries in the Piedmont area (Italy) during the 2020 harvest.

Soil management with respect to nitrogen mobilization and nutrient supply of grapevines on loess soil

The effects of different methods of soil management on the nutrient supply and the wine quality of organically grown Grüner Veltliner grapevines (wide-spaced high culture training system) were investigated in the winegrowing region Wagram of Lower Austria (municipality: Großriedenthal).

La pianificazione del paesaggio agrario vitivinicolo del basso Monferrato

Monferrato is a sub region of Piedmont featuring an endless series of hills which have been moulded through the centuries by laborious farming. Vineyards have always been the protagonists of Monferrato landscape. Asti vineyards have been well-known since Roman times and Pliny the Elder mentions them.

Interactions « Terroir x Vigne » : facteurs de maîtrise du micro-environnement et de la physiologie de la plante en rapport avec le niveau de maturité et les éléments de typicité

Le vigneron européen est de plus en plus à la recherche de la valorisation de son terroir par la personnalisation de la typicité de ses produits. Dans ce contexte, il est apparu depuis longtemps que la part des facteurs technologiques ou humains est d’une importance capitale face aux conditions de l’envirormement naturel. Le terroir se construit plus qu’il ne se subit.

Organoleptic and analytical impacts of the color of glass of the bottles on Chasselas wine

This study was performed on Chasselas wine to assess the impact of exposure to wine light according to several glass color of bottles. The aim was to highlight any differences whether from an organoleptic or analytical point of view depending on the color. For this, four different shades were compared, dead leaf, green, cinnamon and transparent. A control, not treated with light, was also included in the study…
