applicazione dei metodi isotopici e dell’analisi sensoriale negli studi sull’origine dei vini

Abstract

Traceability of agro-alimentary products is very important to certify their origin. This work aimed to characterize wines obtained by the same cultivar (Nero d’Avola and Fiano) – grown in regions with different soil and climate conditions during three vintages (2003-2005) – employing isotopic analyses (NMR and IRMS) and sensory analyses. The effectiveness of stable isotopes ratios (D/H)1, 13C/12C and 18O/16O to assess the geographical origin of wines is affected by the natural variability of these parameters. Their usefulness in wine origin identification improves when they are used jointly. (D/H)1 and 18O/16O ratios depend on latitude but, in the meantime, 18O/16O is noticeably modified by the meteorological course during grape ripening. The most powerful ratios to discriminate between regions are (D/H)1 and 18O/16O (Versini and Monetti, 1996). The isotopic and the sensory analyses together allowed to distinguish wines from different regions.

Comparison of plant nutrients in the soil solution and bleeding sap of grapevine cvs

In this study macro and micro nutrients of plants (N = NH4 + NO3 , P, K, Ca, Na, Zn, Mn, Fe and Cu) were determined both in soil solution and bleeding sap and compared each other. Bleeding sap was collected from the nine varieties of grapevine Cvs. grafted on 5BB rootstock and grown in different soil conditions. For all varieties, plant nutrients content in bleeding sap as higher than in soil solution except for Ca and Na. While in soil solution Ca content was found at 10209 ppm, this value in bleeding sap was 49.20 ppm (Kozak Beyazy), 55.38 ppm (Trakya Ylkeren), 50.37 (Cardinal) and 74.27 ppm (Tekirdaô Çekirdeksizi) respectively. For the same varieties the Na values were as follows : 7.16 ppm (in soil solution) : 4.8, 3.23, 4.21,4.58 ppm (in bleeding sap) respectively. K content in bleeding sap was higher than in soil solution for a few varieties, and lower in some varieties. Traces of Fe and Cu were found in both media.

Energy optimization of the Charmat-Martinotti refermentation process

The european union has estimated that energy consumption for wine production is about 1,750 million kwh per year, of which 500 million kwh is attributable to italy. In recent years, Italy has emerged as the world’s leading wine producer with about 50 million hectoliters per year. About 20 percent (9.8 million hectoliters) of Italian wine is marketed after refermentation according to the Charmat-Martinotti method.

Elementi in traccia e ultratraccia nell’uva: possibili applicazioni ai fini della tracciabilità geografica

Spectral discrimination between Vitis vinifera and labrusca by spectroradiometric techniques

Brazil is one of the few countries where vineyards of Vitis labrusca and Vitis vinifera coexist in the same geographical spaces, due to complex processes of territorial occupation by successive waves of European settlers.

The use of δ13C as an indicator of water use efficiency for the selection of drought tolerant grapevine varieties

In the context of climate change with increasing evaporative demand, understanding the water use behavior of different grapevine cultivars is of critical importance. Carbon isotope discrimination (δ13C) measurements in wine provide a precise and integrated assessment of the water status of the vines during the sugar accumulation period in grape berries. When collected over multiple vintages on different cultivars, δ13C measurements can also provide insights into the effects of genotype on water use efficiency.
