Valutazione dell’equilibrio vegeto-produttivo con metodiche di proximal sensing

Abstract

Nel biennio 2008-2009, nell’ambito di un progetto multidisciplinare coordinato e finanziato dal Consorzio Tuscania, 4 vigneti in differenti zone della Toscana sono stati monitorati con strumenti di proximal sensing al fine di valutare la variabilità riscontrabile e ottenere delle indicazioni sulle risposte vegetative delle piante e quanti-qualitative delle produzioni. La creazione di mappe di NDVI (uno degli indici di vegetazione più comunemente utilizzati) e di spessore delle chiome (CT, derivato dalla lettura dei sensori ad ultrasuoni), ha permesso di evidenziare nette differenze tra i vigneti studiati e all’interno dei singoli appezzamenti, oltre ad una forte influenza temporale sulle caratteristiche delle chiome; tali evidenze sono state confermate da un’analisi della varianza multivariata. I dati rilevati sono stati correlati con alcuni indici comunemente utilizzati per la valutazione vegeto-produttiva delle piante ottenendo delle correlazioni significative, a conferma della validità dei rilievi effettuati e del loro possibile utilizzo come metodo di monitoraggio della situazione esistente in vigneto e di supporto nei processi decisionali

English version: In 2008, collaborating with Tuscania Consortium, Ibimet of Florence and IASMA, a research was started with the aim of understanding and monitoring existing variability in vineyards and, basing on it, evaluating agronomical practices useful for qualitative and quantitative responses optimization. With this purpose, some experimental parcels were chosen in 4 different Sangiovese and Cabernet S. vineyards placed in 3 areas of Tuscany. Parcels were made by the use of different canopy management techniques in various vigour zones. In established periods (fruit setting, veraison and before technological maturity) some instrumental records were made, using ATV mounted optical and ultrasonic sensors; at the same time, indirect measurements of leaf surface and a Point Quadrat were performed. Statistical analysis allowed to validate instrumental relives and to underline the capability of the system of surveying both spatial and temporal variability both an artificial one, made by agronomical practices.

FERMENTATION POTENTIAL OF INDIGENOUS NON-SACCHAROMYCES YEASTS ISOLATED FROM MARAŠTINA GRAPES OF CROATIAN VINEYARDS

The interest in indigenous non-Saccharomyces yeast for use in wine production has increased in recent years because they contribute to the complex character of the wine. The aim of this work was to investigate the fermentation products of ten indigenous strains selected from a collection of native yeasts established at the Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation in 2021, previously isolated from Croatian Maraština grapes, belonging to Hypopichia pseudoburtonii, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Metschnikowia sinensis, Metschnikowia chrysoperlae, Lachancea thermotolerans, Pichia kluyveri, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Hanseniaspora guillermondii, Hanseniaspora pseudoguillermondii, and Starmerella apicola species, and compare it with commercial non-Saccharomyces and Saccharomyces strains.

WHICH IMPACT FOR PROANTHOCYANIDIC TANNINS ON RED WINE FRUITY AROMA? SENSORY AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL APPROACHES

Previous research on the fruity character of red wines highlighted the role of esters. Literature provides evidence that, besides these esters, other compounds that are not necessarily volatiles may have an important impact on the overall aroma of wine, contributing to a modulation of its global aromatic expression. The goal of this work was to assess the olfactory consequences of a mixture between esters and proanthocyanidic tannins, through sensory and physico-chemical approaches.
Sensory analysis of numerous aromatic reconstitutions, including triangular tests, detection thresholds, and sensory profiles, were conducted in order to evaluate the sensory impact of tannins on red wine esters perception.

IMPACT OF CLIMATIC ZONES ON THE AROMATIC PROFILE OF CORVINA WINES IN THE VALPOLICELLA REGION

In Italy, in the past two decades, the rate of temperature increases (0.0369 °C per year) was slightly higher compared to the world average (0.0313 °C per year). It has also been indicated that the number and intensity of heat waves have increased considerably in the last decades. (IEA, 2022). Viticultural zones can be classified with climatic indexes. Huglin’s index (HI) considers the temperature in a definite area and has been considered as reliable to evaluate the thermal suitability for winegrape production (Zhang et al., 2023).

Addition of Malvasia di Candia Aromatica must and marcs to Golden Ale beer wort to obtain different Italian Grape Ales

Nowadays, the recovery of secondary resources of wine industry is insufficient and the developing of new products and adjuvants from secondary raw materials could become a relevant sector of research. The re-use of byproducts derived from winemaking could improve the sustainability of wine industry and give additional value to other food industries
