Vine response to compost addition on a sandy-loam soil in the north-east of italy. Effects on root system, vegetative growth, yield and grape quality of Cabernet-Sauvignon cv

Abstract

In this study two different compost types and two application methods were studied over 5 years (2009-2013) on mature Cabernet Sauvignon vines grown in a commercial vineyard in the AOC Piave area, northeastern Italy. The treatments compared were: IM: inter-row application of compost from cattle manure, at a rate of 4 t/ha/y fresh weight (fw); IW: inter-row application of compost from vineyard pruning waste, at 4 t/ha/y (fw); UW: under-row application of compost from vineyard pruning waste, at 4 t/ha/y (fw); C: control with no amendment/fertilization. Effects on soil characteristics and on vine performances, including root density and distribution, were assessed. IW treatment showed the best overall performance, displaying well-balanced root/shoot growth, increased yield, and satisfactory grape quality. Inter-row addition of compost from cattle manure (IM) and localized addition of compost from pruning wastes (UW) stimulated ether high vegetative growth or high root development and in both cases, a reduction in fruit quality was observed, likely due to competition between vegetative organs (shoots or roots) and the fruit.

Extraction of pathogenesis-related proteins and phenolics in Sauvignon Blanc as affected by different

The composition of wine is largely determined by the composition of pre-fermentation juice, which is influenced by extraction of grape components. Different grape harvesting and processing conditions could affect the extraction of grape components into juice. Among these grape components, pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are of great concern for white wine maker as they are the main cause of haze formation in finished white wine. If not removed before bottling, these PR proteins may progress into haze through the formation of complex with phenolics under certain conditions. Thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) and chitinases are the main constituents of PR proteins found in protein haze.

Utilisation de données historiques pour caractériser le millésime en cours

Cet article propose la formalisation d’un modèle paramétrique pour représenter l’accumulation des sucres dans les baies de raisin durant la maturation. Le test de ce modèle sur des jeux de données réels a permis de valider l’approche proposée. Une seconde partie est axée sur l’adaptation de la méthode pour permettre la simulation du comportement du millésime en cours dès les premiers relevés de maturité. Ce travail possède de multiples applications dans le domaine de l’aide à la décision.

Unveiling the chemical headspace of sparkling wine glasses by laser spectroscopy

Right after serving a sparkling wine into a glass, thousands of rising and bursting bubbles convey gas-phase CO2 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the headspace above the champagne surface, thus progressively modifying the gaseous chemical space perceived by the consumer [1].
