Use of hyperspectral data for assessing vineyard biophysical and quality parameters in northern Italy

Abstract

A total of 39 study sites from 11 commercial vineyards located in two traditional growing areas of Northern Italy were identified for airborne hyperspectral acquisition in summer 2009 with the Aisa-EAGLE Airborne Hyperspectral Imaging Sensor. Field sampling campaigns were conducted during the airborne overflights and around harvest, collecting canopy structural parameters, leaf and canopy biophysical characteristics as well as spectral signatures and must quality traits. Several vegetation indices were calculated from each plot to relate variations in canopy structure and foliar pigment concentration to vine status and grape quality parameters. The up-scaling model through TCARI/OSAVI index allowed to yield acceptable estimates of leaf chlorophyll content. However model refinements are needed to improve its capacity to taking into account understory grass cover at the highest instrument resolution.

Improvement of non-Saccharomyces yeast dominance during must fermentation by using spontaneous mutants resistant to SO2, EtOH and high pressure of CO2

AIM: A genetic study of four wine T. delbrueckii strains was done. Spore clones free of possible recessive growth‐retarding alleles with enhanced resistance to winemaking stressing conditions were obtained from these yeasts. METHODS: The genetic marker of resistance to cycloheximide (cyhR) allows easy monitoring of the new mutants obtained from these yeasts.

Use of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (ML PrimeTm) to improve malolactic fermentation of catarratto wine subjected to long post-fermentative maceration.

AIM: Lactiplantibacillus plantarum species is wordwide used as starter for malolactic fermentation [1,2]. For the first time, in the present study, the use of L. plantarum (ML PrimeTM, Lallemand wine) to produce white wines with post-fermentative maceration extended until 60 days has been investigated.
