NMR profiling of grape musts from some italian regions

One of the ways to reduce the use of pesticides is to adapt their dosage to the needs of the plant by using variable rate technology for managing field spatial variability. The recent evolution of technologies in the field of robotics, mechatronics and new information and communication technologies

Favoring the formation of volatile compounds and their precursors in must and wine represent one of the principal goals during winemaking technology. In recent years, most attention has been placed on using glycosidases to enlarge the aroma profile of white wines. The effect of enzymes makes odorless glycosidically-bound precursors be converted into aromatic compounds. This paper focuses to study the influence of enzymes (pectolytic and β-glycosides) administered before alcoholic fermentation, even if most studies analyze their use in different winemaking stages. Two semi-aromatic varieties such as Fetească regală and Sauvignon blanc were chosen.

The mouthfeel of wine is one of the most important aspects of the organoleptic experience of tasting wine. In wine a great deal is known about certain compositional components and how they impact mouthfeel perception, such as phenolics. But there are other components where little is understood, such as oligosaccharides. Saccharides in general are found in very low concentrations with wine, especially compared to conventional foods. There is very little information about how oligosaccharides influence the mouthfeel perception of wine.

Ampelography is aimed at describing the vine according to several characteristics, such as morphology, agronomic aptitudes, technological potential, and genetics. The description of varieties and species of vitis has long been the subject of numerous scientific and technical studies by eminent specialists for a long time, which have led the OIV to publish in 1983 the “descriptor list for grape varieties and vitis species”, a milestone among the OIV worldwide recognised codes.

The integration of digital social networks (DSN) has profoundly transformed communication practices within the wine industry, reorganizing the dynamics of prescription and marketing.
