The influence of native flora on Argentine white terroir cv. Torrontes Riojano

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to establish considerable differences between wines from three wine areas or terroir, made with cv Torrontes Riojano.

Seventy-one volatile components were used as variables, obtained by means of solid-liquid extraction, quantification by Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detector (FID), and the use of a multivariate statistical model of classification.

We have been able to conclude that the components which differentiate geographical areas in wines come from native flora which is near the vineyards, either owing to cross-pollination, dispersion both of resin and of pollen of the Larrea genus (jarilla), the wind or the solubility of the volatile components found in the soil.

Effect of mannoproteins extracted from Torulaspora delbrueckii on wine flavanol composition and on flavanol-salivary protein interactions

Global climate change is exerting an influence on vine phenology, leading to a decoupling of technological and phenolic maturity of grapes. This results in the modification of berry chemical composition, which can translate into wines with excessive astringency. The addition of mannoproteins (MP) to wine has been proposed as a way of mitigating this problem, since some studies have shown that MPs can modulate wine astringency. However, the mechanism underlying the astringency modulation effect of MPs is not well known and it seems to be dependent on the compositional and structural characteristics of the MP.

Handbook of the charter of the universal holistic metaethics  sustainability 4.1c” for certification and warranty bio-métaétique 4.1c

Defined the new paradigm, the applied philosophy, the methodology, the algorithm of the “Charter for Universal Holistic MetaEthic Sustainability 4.1C17.18”, research has continued to define and write, an
handbook that should be:”Complete Universal Holistic MetaEthics 4.1C of descriptors” of the “Charter for Sustainability Universal Holistic MetaEthic 4.1C17.18” with basic and applicative indexing. In these activities and research we have involved over 3500 Italian and non-Italian people from the research world to simple but educated, enlightened and enlightening citizens and we have analyzed over 180000
