New methods and technologies to describe the environment in terroir studies

Abstract

The concept of terroir in viticulture deals with the influence of environmental factors on vine behaviour and grape ripening. Recent advances in technology, in particular computer technology, allow a more in-depth study of the environment. Geomorphology can be studied with digital Elevation Models (DEM). Soils can be surveyed with geophysics. The development of automatic weather stations allows more dense registration of climatic parameters like temperature and rainfall. Solar radiation can be remotely sensed with satellites and rainfall with radar. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allow combining various sources of spatialized environmental factors. The development of high throughput indicators of grapevine development, vine water status and vine nitrogen status allows spatialized validation of vine responses to environmental factors.

MODULATION OF YEAST-DERIVED AROMA COMPOUNDS IN CHARDONNAY WINES USING ENCAPSULATED DIAMMONIUM PHOSPHATE TO CONTROL NUTRIENT RELEASE

Yeast-derived aroma compounds are the result of different and complex biochemical pathways that mainly occur during alcoholic fermentation. Many of them are related -but not limited- to the availability of nutrients in the fermentation medium and linked to nitrogen metabolism and biomass produced. Besides, the metabolic phase of yeast also regulates the expression of many enzymes involved in the formation of aroma active compounds. The work investigates the overall effect of continuous supplementation of nutrients during alcoholic fermentation of a grape must on the volatile composition of wines.
