Influence of different strains of lab on quality of catarratto wine produced in sicily

Abstract

AIM: Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Oenococcus oeni species is worldwide used as starter for malolactic fermentation [1, 2]. For the first time, in the present study, the impact of malolactic fermentation on Sicilian white wines of the Catarratto cultivar was evaluated by using different commercial LAB strains. Particularly, L. plantarum (ML PrimeTM, Lallemand wine), O. oeni (Lalvin VP41®, O-Mega® and PN4®, Lallemand wine) were used as starter strains for malolactic fermentation.

METHODS: the Catarratto must, after clarification, were aliquoted in steel tanks (2.5 hL). Each tank (5 trials: M8-M12) was inoculated with the indigenous selected strain CS182 Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After 24 hours, ML PrimeTM (M8) , Lalvin VP41® (M9), O-Mega® (M10) and PN4® (M11) were inoculated singularly into grape must. For the control trial, were not added with malolactic starter (M12-MLc). During the alcoholic fermentation, the microbiological and chemical-physical parameters were evaluated. After six months from the date of bottling, the wines were subjected to volatile organic compound investigation and sensory analysis.

RESULTS: grape must showed values of malic acid of 1.58 g/l. Trial M8 inoculated with L. plantarum showed a significant reduction of malic acid reaching values of 1 g/L, three days after inoculum. Trial M9, M10 and M11, inoculated with O. oeni, showed a rapid consumption of malic acid after 15 days of AF and completed malolactic fermentation one week after AF. The VOCs present in highest concentration were 3-methyl-1-butanol in all trials, phenylethyl alcohol in trials M8, M9, and M12, and 2,3-butanediol in M11. The sensorial analysis conducted on the different experimental wines showed a tendency of panelists to prefer trials M8. In fact, wines with the addition of MLPrimeTM, obtained the highest scores for the attributes flavor and odour overall quality, intensity and complexity odours. No unpleasant odours and/or flavours were recorded. Acetic acid content was less than 0.3 g/l in all experimental trials.

CONCLUSIONS

The inoculation of the different commercial LAB strains allowed the malo-lactic fermentation of all wines. L. plantarum proved to be an effective alternative to O. oeni in order to start the malolactic fermentation and the wines were appreciated at sensorial level

Cultures des vignobles en forte pente: possibilités de mécanisation. Effet de l’exposition et de l’orientation des rangs

Plus de la moitié du vignoble suisse (14’000 ha) est situé sur des coteaux en forte pente (> 30%). Dans certains vignobles, la pente naturelle du terrain a été réduite par la construction de terrasses soutenues par des murs.

L’effetto paesaggio sul sistema delle preferenze: i vini veneti tra evocazioni di consumo e determinanti di scelta

La presente relazione mira ad individuare il ruolo del paesaggio nella determinazione delle preferenze della domanda, in modo da far emergere i fattori immateriali che definiscono il valore territoriale dei vini tipici su cui far leva per le strategie di marketing. L’analisi ha riguardato vini tipici del Veneto e coinvolto soggetti non provenienti da questa Regione. Ne è emerso l’effetto amplificativo dell’immagine del paesaggio sulla qualità percepita.

Historical terraced vineyards – heritage and nature conservation strategies

Historical terrace vineyards are simultaneously impressive documents of the human inclination to design, sites for the production of high quality wines and habitats for a rich variety of flora and fauna

Impact of electrolyzed water applied as an alternative treatment in vineyard on grape and wine quality

The main issues in viticulture are to highly decrease the use of phytochemicals. Electrolyzed water (EW) is one of the possible alternative when illness pressure is not too high

Effect of elicitors and ripening moment on the phenolic composition of Monastrell

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a globally cultivated crop and economically significant, particularly in the wine industry (Varela et al., 2024). Climate change is already affecting vineyards and is expected to worsen (Averbeck et al., 2019; Dupuis and Knoepfel, 2011).
