“Gentle” sustainable extraction from whole berry by using resonance waves and slight over CO2 overpressure

Abstract

The traditional methods of grape extraction of enochemical compounds use very often mechanical energy by pistons such as the pigeage or mechanical energy produced by must (delestage, pumping over). Recent trend by winemaker is trying to introduce in the fermentation tank, whole berry grape to avoid even minimal oxidation. Unfortunately, the use of the traditional mechanical techniques aforementioned, very often does not guarantee the optimal extraction of polyphenols and above all does not assure an uniform temperature in the vessel. Use of resonance waves (AM =AIRMIXING MI TM) or a slight overpressure by CO2 (ADCFTM) permits to work on whole berry guaranteeing the perfect extraction and homogenize the temperature and the oxygen in all the mass. In AM, the great goal to have an uniform temperature in all the tank, permits the winemaker to decide which temperature using to ferment and to extract depending on the wine style she/he wants to reach. This presentation we will summarize data on experimental works done with these two techniques and we show, beyond the theoretical explanation, the kinetic of extraction of different phenol classes and of volatile organic compounds even in the production of wine without sulfite addition.

Estrazione gentile e sostenibile da acino intero utilizzando onde di risonanza e sovrapressione

I metodi tradizionali di estrazione dei composti enochimici dall’uva utilizzano molto spesso l’energia meccanica mediante pistoni come il pigeage o l’energia meccanica prodotta dal mosto (delestage, rimontaggi). La recente tendenza dell’enologo sta cercando di introdurre nel serbatoio di fermentazione l’uva a bacca intera per evitare anche la minima ossidazione. Purtroppo, l’utilizzo delle tradizionali tecniche meccaniche sopra citate, molto spesso non garantiscono l’estrazione ottimale con rimanenza di zuccheri residui nelle vinacce. L’utilizzo di onde di risonanza (airmixingtm) e una leggera sovrapressione da parte di CO2 (adcftm) permettono di lavorare sull’acino intero garantendo la perfetta estrazione. In questa presentazione presenteremo i dati di un lavoro sperimentale svolto con queste due tecniche in cui mostriamo, oltre alla spiegazione teorica, la cinetica di estrazione di diverse classi fenoliche e anche di composti organici volatili anche nella produzione di vino senza aggiunta di solfiti.

Extraction douce et durable de baies entières par ondes de résonance et surpression

Les méthodes traditionnelles d’extraction des composés œnochimiques du raisin utilisent très souvent de l’énergie mécanique par pistons comme le pigeage ou de l’énergie mécanique produite par le moût (délestage, remontage). La tendance récente des vignerons consiste à introduire dans la cuve de fermentation des raisins à baies entières pour éviter même une oxydation minime. Malheureusement, l’utilisation des techniques mécaniques traditionnelles évoquées plus haut, ne garantit bien souvent pas une extraction optimale des sucres résiduels dans le marc. L’utilisation d’ondes de résonance (airmixingtm) et d’une légère surpression de CO2 (adcftm) permettent de travailler sur baie entière garantissant une extraction parfaite. Dans cette présentation nous présenterons les données d’un travail expérimental réalisé avec ces deux techniques où nous montrons, au-delà de l’explication théorique, la cinétique d’extraction de différentes classes de phénols ainsi que de composés organiques volatils même dans la production de vin sans ajout de sulfites.

Enological technics to enhance the aromatic qualities of white spirits 

Eugenol has been identified as a quality marker in armagnac white spirits. In particular, those produced from the Baco blanc variety, the only hybrid variety authorised in a French PDO, bred since 1898 from noah (vitis labrusca x v.riparia) and folle blanche (v. Vinifera). The varietal compound of Baco blanc, eugenol has many original properties.

New markers for monitoring “fresh mushroom aroma” in wine: A dual approach using microbiological and chemical tools from the vineyard to winery–A synthesis of recent research advances

The ‘fresh mushroom off-flavour’ has been recognized by the wine industry as an emerging defect since the 2000s. For many years, this off-flavour was not specifically characterized and rather grouped under ‘earthy’ and ‘musty’ taints. However, it has become increasingly problematic due to its rising prevalence. In some vineyards, incidents of this off-flavour now occur as frequently as once every five years. This trend may be associated with climatic changes affecting regions that are more prone to warm and wet seasons.

Genetic traceability of the varietal origin of wines: a robust application for must and wines during alcoholic fermentation

Industry and regulatory agencies have developed regulations to ensure authenticity and compliance with wine composition limits. However, this can be truncated by the absence of simple and robust analytical methodologies, uninfluenced by the environment, different oenological techniques and cultural practices. Genetic fingerprinting is the most powerful tool for unequivocal varietal identification; it is not affected by the environment or agronomic practices; however, its usefulness in musts and wines has been controversial and there is currently no routine certification of varietal origin based on DNA analysis.

Understanding the physiological responses of Sauvignon blanc vines to sequential extreme weather events: implications for vineyard management in a changing climate

Climate plays a predominant role in vines’ growth and productivity and several environmental variables are already known to pose challenges to grapevine production and the horticultural industry as a whole. In this context, a number of extreme weather events already occurring and expected to occur in the next decades even more frequently and with higher magnitude results from current climate change scenario. The aim of this study was to examine the physiological responses of roots, leaves, and berries of Vitis vinifera cv. Sauvignon blanc to consecutive and combined stressors simulated in a semi-controlled environment.

An efficient protocol for long-term maintenance of embryogenic calluses of Vitis vinifera

New breeding techniques (NBTS) could play a significant role in the genetic improvement of grapevine by producing new grape varieties with improved quantitative and qualitative characteristics. However, the application of these new techniques faces some technical challenges. One of the challenges is the generation of embryogenic calluses, which are not only difficult to obtain but it is also difficult to maintain their competence during in vitro cultivation, and thus regenerate plants without defects.
