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

Effects of different organic amendments on soil, vine, grape and wine, in a long-term field experiment in Chinon vineyard (France)

In a long-term experiment carried out in Chinon vineyard (37, France) during 23 years, the effects of several organic amendments were studied on soil, vine, grapes and wine. Four main treatments were compared on a calcareous sandy soil: control without organic amendment, dry crushed pruning wood at 2.1.t-1.ha-1.year-1 (D1), cow manure at 10 t-1. ha-1.year-1 (D1) and cow manure applied at 20 t-1.ha-1.year-1 (D2). D1 levels were calculated to fill the annual humus losses by mineralization.

Influence of irrigation frequency on berry phenolic composition of red grape varieties cultivated in four spanish wine-growing regions

The global warming phenomenon involves the frequency of extreme meteorological events accompanied by a change in rainfall distribution. Irrigation frequency (IF) affects the spatial and temporal soil water distribution but its effects on the phenolic composition of the grape have been scarcely studied. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of four deficit irrigation frequencies of 30 % ETo: one irrigation per day (T01), two irrigations per week (T03), one irrigation per week (T07) and one irrigation every two weeks (T15) on berry phenolic composition at harvest.

Les AOC : un frein ou un moteur à l’innovation ? Retour sur l’histoire économique, scientifique, sociale et technique des vins d’appellation au XXe siècle en France

At a time when the world’s winegrowing industry is having to adapt to a number of challenges, winegrowers are wondering about the consequent changes they will have to make (grape varieties, changes in vineyard and cellar techniques). For winegrowers and consumers alike, there is also the question of how these changes will affect the taste of their wines. This research, based on the study of numerous sources and archives from the 20th century, some of which have never been published before, aims to show that, in the recent past, the winegrowing world has shown incredible resilience in the face of crises, and that the taste and perception of fine wines has changed considerably in 100 years.

Viticultural zoning of the country of Mendoza, Argentina. Study of the first zone : department of Luján de Cuyo. Statement of the study year 2002

La région viticole de Mendoza est la principale zone vitivinicole d’Argentine qui se compose de 3 oasis (Nord, Valle de Uco, Sud). La première zone vitivinicole, située dans l’oasis Nord, est composée par les département de Luján de Cuyo et Maipu. C’est la zone de production la plus ancienne et la plus reconnue pour la qualité de sa production. Ce travail se porte plus particulièrement sur le département de Luján de Cuyo qui constitue le lieu traditionnel de production du Malbec argertin. Ce travail propose de caractériser les terroirs et de mettre en avant leurs typicités.
