Use of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (ML PrimeTm) to improve malolactic fermentation of catarratto wine subjected to long post-fermentative maceration.

Abstract

AIM: Lactiplantibacillus plantarum species is wordwide used as starter for malolactic fermentation [1,2]. For the first time, in the present study, the use of L. plantarum (ML PrimeTM, Lallemand wine) to produce white wines with post-fermentative maceration extended until 60 days has been investigated.

METHODS: unpressed grapes of Catarratto cultivar were inoculated with the indigenous selected strain CS182 Saccharomyces cerevisiae [3]. After 24 hours, ML PrimeTM was inoculated into grape must. For the control trials, malolactic fermentation occurred spontaneously. During the alcoholic fermentation the microbiological and chemical-physical parameters were evaluated. After 60 days of post-fermentation maceration, the wines transferred into steel tanks and subjected to volatile organic compound investigation and sensory analysis.

RESULTS: grape must showed values of malic acid of 1.90 g/L. Interestingly, 24 hours after inoculation of ML PrimeTM, malic acid was totally converted into lactic acid that reached values of 1.54 g/l. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation started one month later the end of alcoholic fermentation. Experimental wines subjected to malolactic fermentation with ML PrimeTM showed a reduction of acid and bitter taste and were characterized by intense creamy and freshness both at smell and taste. Acetic acid contents was lower than 0.3 g/L in all experimental trials. 

CONCLUSIONS: inoculation of the ML PrimeTM before the addition of starter yeast into unpressed grape must allowed malolactic fermentation within 24-48h at 18°C. ML PrimeTM is an effective alternative to Oenococcus oeni to undertake malolactic fermentation in white wines subjected at long post-fermentative maceration

Impact of reduction alcohol techiniques in the aromatic chemical profile of rosé Tempranillo wines

Studying the impact of reducing alcohol techniques in the chemical composition of the aromatic profile of rosé Tempranillo wines from the spanish region of Castilla-La Mancha INTRODUCTION: In the last decades there has been an increseasing demand of wines with low or non-existing alcohol concentration due to the negative effects that alcohol has in health. In spite of that, there are not laws that protect these products, and there is also a great difficulty in the elaboration of these type of wines due to the increasing temperatures because of climate change. This is why the oenological industry has made great advances in the development of different techniques that could satisfy consumers’ demands without modifying wine quality. The most used techniques have been post-fermentative ones.

Deficit irrigation and mechanical canopy management affect berry and wine phenolic and aroma composition of Syrah in Central California

Labor shortage is one of the most crucial issues in current viticulture. Mechanized approaches are helpful in reducing production costs and increasing vineyard efficiency but their effect on grapes and wines needs evaluation. This work assess the results of combined mechanical pruning and shoot thinning with deficit irrigation strategies to reduce management costs but not quality of production.
