Effect of quercus alba oak barrels from different forest on the volatile composition of Tempranillo wines

Abstract

AIM: The species and origin used for red wine oak aging determines the physiological composition of the wood and thus the finished wines. In America, oak is grown primarily in the states of Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky, Oregon, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin and California. The aim of this study is to analyze how the choice of barrels made with Quercus Alba oak from different geographic areas of the United States (Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania) influences the volatile composition of the Tempranillo wines.

METHODS: In this study, three different Tempranillo wines were aged for 6 months in new 225-liter American oak barrels (medium toast degree) from different forest of the United States: Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania. These barrels were made by the Toneleria Murua in 2018 and the experiences were carried out in three wineries of the D.O.Ca Rioja. Samples were taken when wine was introduced into the barrel, and after 6 months of aging. The volatile compounds of the wines were quantified by gas chromatography with a mass detector (GC-MS) after liquid-liquid extraction of the volatile fraction as described by Oliveira et al. (2008).

RESULTS: The different oak origins did not affect the total content of the volatile families of C6 alcohols, acetates, volatile acids, lactones, carbonyl compounds and volatile phenols. On the contrary, the wines aged on oak from Pennsylvania showed significantly higher values of higher alcohols and ethyl esters. Regarding the individual compounds, wines aged on Pennsylvania barrels showed higher concentrations of whisky lactones. 

CONCLUSIONS

The results obtained in the present study could help for selecting the oak origin that best suited to the different wines.

Wine industry, digital transformation, and sustainability: a systematic literature 

This paper aims to (i) identify the state of the art regarding digital transformation in the transition to sustainability in the wine industry, (ii) analyze the adoption of digital technologies at different stages of the winemaking process and their contribution to the triple bottom line of sustainability, and (iii) present a research agenda that facilitates the development of the field, providing contributions to both literature and managerial practice.

Influence of Partial Rootzone Drying on grape and wine anthocyanin composition

The effect of Partial Rootzone Drying (PRD) on fruit and wine composition has been investigated. At harvest, total anthocyanin and phenolic concentration of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon fruit was either unaltered or increased by PRD relative to control irrigation over two seasons. Where there was an increase in anthocyanin concentration

Studio preliminare sulla microzonazione Bioclimatica condotto in un’area viticola collinare

La caratterizzazione bioclimatica del territorio rappresenta un elemento sempre più impor­tante per il miglioramento dell’ attività agricola. La conoscenza degli andamenti assunti dai parametri meteorologici puà consentire di individuare le peculiarità dei singoli appezzamenti aziendali, ottimizzando le scelte sia in termini tattici (esecuzione dei più opportuni interventi colturali) che strategici (scelta delle specie o varietà più idonee a valorizzare ciascun am­biente).

Using multifactorial analysis to evaluate the contribution of terroir components to the oenological potential of grapes at harvest

The oenological potential of grapes at harvest depends on a combination of the major components of Terroir: the climate, the soil, the plant material, the training system and the crop management.

Hyperspectral imaging and Raman spectroscopy, nondestructive methods to assess wine grape composition

Grape composition is of high interest for producing quality wines. For that, grape analyses are necessary, and they still require sample preparation, whether with classical analyses or with NIR analyses.

Effect of power ultrasound treatment on free and glycosidically-bound volatile compounds and the sensorial profile of red wines

AIM Aiming to explore the possibility of shortening red winemaking maceration times (1,2), this study presents the effect of the application of high-power ultrasounds to crushed grapes, at winery-scale, on the content of varietal volatile compounds (free and glycosidically-bound) in musts and on the overall aroma of wines.

The use of elicitors in the vineyard to mitigate the effects of climate change on wine quality

The wine sector is being directly affected by climate change. Temperatures above 30ºC can cause a lag between the ripening of the berry pulp (a rapid increase in sugar content) and the skin

Influence of the malolactic fermentation on wine metabolomics or drastic metabolomics changes due to malolactic fermentation

It is well known that lactic acid bacteria modify the wine volatile compound. However, very few data are available regarding metabolite changes that occurred during the malolactic fermentation (MLF).
