Bacterial community in different wine appellations – biotic and abiotic interaction in grape berry and its impact on Botrytis cinerea development

Abstract

An in-depth knowledge on the conditions that trigger Botrytis disease and the microbial community associated with the susceptibility/resistance to it could led to the anticipation and response to the Botrytis emergence and severity. Therefore, the present study pretends to establish links between biotic and abiotic factors and the presence/abundance of B. cinerea. Several grape varieties from 4 different wine appellations in France and Spain have been studied at different maturity stages to analyse: 1) B. cinerea abundance (established by qPCR), 2) grape composition parameters (comprising water activity measuring, exudates composition, phenologic stage, gluconic acid, calcium, etc), and 3) grape berries microbial community diversity and composition (using 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing).Preliminary analysis of the results obtained through 16S rRNA Next Generation Sequencing revealed differences in microbial richness and bacterial composition between the vineyards. Both alpha and beta diversities correlated with fruit maturity, where grapes at harvest stage showed significantly higher richness and a dissimilar bacterial composition. In addition, bacterial community structure differed between wine appellations. The study will increase significantly our understanding of the ecology of microbial associated to different grape varieties and viticulture areas. Additionally, it will generate knowledge about the factors.

Advances in the chemistry of rosé winemaking and ageing

The market share of Rosé wine in France has grown from 11 % to 32 % over the last 20 years. Current trends are towards rosé wines of a lighter shade of pink, and where possible, containing a greater concentration in varietal thiols. Grape varieties, the soil on which they are grown, viticultural practices and winemaking technology all impact the polyphenols, color and aromas of rosé wines.

Varietal thiol precursors in Trebbiano di Lugana grape and must

Trebbiano di Lugana (TdL) is a white variety of Vitis vinifera mainly cultivated in an Italian area located south near Garda lake (Verona, north of Italy). This grape cultivar, also known as “Turbiana,” is used for the production of TdL wine with recognized Protected Designation of Origin whose volatile profile was recently determined [1]. The presence of varietal thiols in TdL, namely 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol and its acetate form, conferring the tropical and citrus notes, has been documented. Winemaking strategies were also described with the purpose of protecting and maintain these desired aromas [2]. To the best of our knowledge, the varietal thiol precursors (VTPs) were not previously determined in TdL grape and must. This study aimed to quantify VTPs in both grape during the ripening and must during the pressing. Volatile C6 compounds were also measured in the must fractions.

Effect of stilbenes on malolactic fermentation performance of onoccocus oeni and lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains in wine production

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is an important step in winemaking to improve wine quality through deacidification, increased microbial stability, and altered wine flavor. The phenolic composition of wine influences the growth and metabolism of lactic acid bacteria (lab) used for MLF.
