Tracking the origin of Tempranillo Tinto through whole genome resequencing and high-throughput genotyping  

Abstract

Grapevine cultivars are vegetatively propagated to maintain their varietal characteristics. This process of multiplication leads to spontaneous somatic mutations that can eventually generate a variant phenotype, of potential interest for cultivar improvement and innovation. However, regardless their phenotypic effect, somatic mutations stack in the genome, and they can be used to reveal the origin and dissemination history of ancient cultivars. Here, a stringent somatic variant calling over whole genome resequencing data from 35 ‘Tempranillo Tinto’ clones or old vines from seven Iberian winemaking regions revealed 135 single nucleotide variations (SNVs) shared by some of the clonal lines. Among them, we selected 56 highly informative SNVs to custom-design a high-throughput genotyping chip for this cultivar, which was validated and further tested in 94 ‘Tempranillo Tinto’ vines from highly diverse regions. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that ‘Tempranillo Tinto’ samples grouped in three major clonal lineages, a clustering that reflected the geographic origin of the samples. After combining these results with genome re-sequencing data from the two ‘Tempranillo Tinto’ parents, we found the Ebro River Valley as the most likely region of origin for ‘Tempranillo Tinto’. Results also revealed one major historical dissemination route that likely progressed westwards from this original site, towards the main winemaking regions found across the Duero River Valley and to the South in Portugal. Collectively, the results obtained in this study shed light on the origin and historical dispersal of ‘Tempranillo Tinto’ in the Iberian Peninsula, and released highly informative SNVs for the differentiation of intra-cultivar lineages.

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with Tof-MS, a powerful tool for analysis of the volatomes of grapes and wines

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC) has emerged as a powerful analytical technique for unraveling the volatile composition of complex matrices. This work will present three applications of GCxGC Tof-MS to the oenological field, aimed to identify novel biomarkers to be used in the quality control process of the wine industry. Comprehensive mapping of volatile compounds was conducted in a large sample of 70 sparkling wines, produced by 48 different wineries across 6 vintages and representative of the two main production areas for premium Italian sparkling wines (Franciacorta (FC) and Trentodoc (TN)), using HS-SPME followed by GCxGC-Tof-MS and multivariate analysis. Selection and identification of 196 putative biomarkers allowed clear separation of sparkling wines from FC and TN.

Vitamin content of grape musts and yeast nutrition: A review

The management of yeast nutrition is an essential approach for a better control over wine fermentation process. Most of the researches on this subject in the last decades focused on nitrogen nutrition. However, vitamins, while being key compounds for yeast metabolism as co-factors for numerous enzymatic activities, were left mostly unexplored.

INFLUENCE OF THE NITROGEN / LIPIDS RATIO OF MUSTS ON THE REVELATION OF AROMATIC COMPOUNDS IN SAUVIGNON BLANC WINE

Production of volatile compounds by yeast is known to be modulated by must nitrogen. Nevertheless, various parameter of must quality have an impact on yeast fermentation. In this study we propose to evaluate the impact of nitrogen / lipids balance on a Sauvignon Blanc grape juice (Val de Loire).
Must was prepared from the same grapes at pilot scale. Three modalities were carried out: direct pressing, direct pressing with a pre-fermentation cold stabulation and pellicular maceration before pressing.

Wine chemical markers assess nitrogen levels in original grape juice

Nitrogen (N) nutrition of the vineyard plays a crucial role in the composition of must and wine, impacting fermentation, as well as the aroma and taste of the final product. N-deficient grape juice can result in increased astringency and bitterness, and a decrease in pleasant aromas in the wine.
