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.

Do wine sulphites affect gut microbiota? An in vitro study of their digestion in the gastrointestinal tract

“Sulphites” and mainly sulphur dioxide (SO2) is by far the most widely used additive (E-220/INS 220) in winemaking and likely the most difficult to replace. The well-known antioxidant, antioxidasic and antimicrobial properties of SO2 make this molecule a practically essential tool, not only in winemaking, but also in the production of other food products. The current trend in winemaking is the reduction of this unfriendly additive due to its negative effects on health and environmental. In particular, it could cause headaches and intolerance/allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Wine is considered one of the major contributors of exposure of SO2 in the adult population, when this beverage is included in the diet.
