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

Fungus resistant grape varieties (FRGV or PIWI) offer many benefits such as less pesticide use or premium prices for enhanced sustainability. Still, winemakers are concerned about inferior wine quality. This study evaluates how European wine consumers assess wines made from new FRGVs in comparison to traditional V. vinifera varieties. Most of them were grown in the same vineyard. Four white (Calardis Blanc, Muscaris, Sauvignac, Cabernet Blanc) und three red (Satin Noir, Cabernet Cortis, Laurot) FRGV were compared to Riesling, Sauvignon blanc, Muskateller, Cab. Sauvignon and Merlot. For each FRGV, different styles were vinified using standardized protocols.

Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is a low molecular weight sulfur compound produced in wine during aging by the chemical degradation of S-Methyl-L-methionine (SMM). Investigating the aromatic profile of Amarone commercial wines from different wineries, it was found that DMS presented a high variation in concentration across wine samples ranging from 2.88 to 64.34 μg/L, which potentially can

This interaction is primarily due to an acidic attack on the ceramic by the wine. It results in (1) the dissolution of the ceramic into the wine and the release of a wide variety of elements; and (2) an increase of the wine pH. The extent of these effects depends on the mineralogical and chemical composition of the ceramic, as well as the hydraulic ratio of the ceramic-wine system (the term hydraulic ratio (ρ) defines here the volume of wine over the surface area of the ceramic in contact with the wine).

Spring freeze events threaten grape production globally. As grape buds emerge from dormancy in spring, freezing temperatures have the potential to damage green tissues, decreasing yield potential and compromising fruit quality by harvest.

This study aims to investigate the effects of different conditions of grape processing or fermentation on the aroma profile of New Zealand white wines.
