Gamay and Gamaret winemaking processes using stems: impact on the wine chemical and organoleptic characteristics

Abstract

AIM: Stalks are empirically known to bring many benefits to the wine such as alcoholic reduction, color protection or improvement of the tannic intensity. Not much used on Swiss grape varieties, the aim of this study was to identify the relevance of using this type of winemaking in the case of Gamay and Gamaret red grape varieties.

METHODS: Gamay and Gamaret grapes from a vineyards in Gland (Switzerland) were harvested and treated according to three modalities: fully destemmed used as control, 20% and 40% either whole grapes or stems added to the rest of the destemmed harvest. The influence of the stalks on the wine organoleptic properties was measured using different classical FTIR and colorimetric methods (alcohol, acidity, pH, SO2 …). Polyphenol content was evaluated using spectrophotometer measurements and concentration of flavanols and proanthocyanins in wine samples determined by HPLC-FLD-MS/MS. Sensory analysis were also performed in order to measure the impact on the wines.

RESULTS: Results showed that the total polyphenolic content was lower for trials with non-destemmed grapes and higher for the ones where stems were added. According to the tannin content, no significant differences were found between the modalities for the gamay grape variety. For the gamaret grape variety, the values were lower than the control when 20% and 40% of non-destemmed grapes were used. Planned sensory analysis should allow us to know the impact on the aromatic characters of these wines.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study allows us to acquire knowledge about winemaking processes performed using non-destemmed grapes and their impact on the wine characteristics. Both chemical composition and organoleptic characterization were taken into account

Handbook of the charter of the universal holistic metaethics sustainability 4.1c” for certification and warranty bio-métaétique 4.1c

Defined the new paradigm, the applied philosophy, the methodology, the algorithm of the “Charter for Universal Holistic MetaEthic Sustainability 4.1C17.18”, research has continued to define and write, an
handbook that should be:”Complete Universal Holistic MetaEthics 4.1C of descriptors” of the “Charter for Sustainability Universal Holistic MetaEthic 4.1C17.18” with basic and applicative indexing. In these activities and research we have involved over 3500 Italian and non-Italian people from the research world to simple but educated, enlightened and enlightening citizens and we have analyzed over 180000
entries concerning the descriptors above, which represent the basic “descriptors”.

Variabilité spatiale du gel printanier dans le vignoble champenois : application au zonage climatique

In the Champagne vineyards, spring frosts are the cause of significant variations in the volume of the harvest which are very penalizing for the trade. This variability is reflected both in time (years without frost alternating with years with severe frosts) and in space. Certain sectors of the vineyard are in fact statistically more susceptible to frost than others, but each year no municipality can consider itself immune to this climatic accident. The objective of the study is precisely to analyze the spatial distribution of frost and to determine its main mechanisms, linked to the topography of the hillsides, their orientation but also to regional meteorological variables.

For a phenomenology of terroir. A consumers’ perspective

This study investigates the notion of terroir by applying a phenomenological approach, focusing on the subjective experience of consumers. We will consider how terroir is described by consumers in order to gauge their subjective viewpoint and understand their way of describing and defining this spatiality.

Integrated approaches for the functional characterization of miRNAs in grapevine

Micro(mi)RNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate several pathways and are widely recognised as key players in plant development, tissue differentiation, and many other important physiological processes, including plant adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses. The release of plant genomes and the application of high throughput sequencing have considerably extended miRNA discovery across many species, including grapevine (Vitis spp.). Despite their relevance in plant development, functional studies in grapevine to clarify the function of miRNAs are not yet available. Through the grapevine genetic improvement platform IMPROVIT at CNR-IPSP (http://www.ipsp.cnr.it/en/thematics/turin-headquarter-thematics/improvit/), we developed integrated approaches to discover miRNA function in grapevine.
