Use of new tools for red wine aging: active and passive microoxygenation with oak wood. Effect on volatile compounds and sensorial impact

Abstract

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the evolution of different chemical parameters and sensory impact on red wine during maturation in barrels or with new technologies: active and passive micro-oxygenation systems together with oak wood alternatives.

METHODS: Seven different aging systems [1] based in HDPE tanks with different OTR, tank using PMDS infusion tube, stoneware barrel, stainless steel tank together with MOX and barrel, were filled with Tinta de Toro variety wine. The trial lasted for six months and, in both the traditional barrel and the alternative stave systems, French oak wood with a similar average toast from the same cooperage and from the same batch was used. Along with the addition of oak wood in the MOX systems, the active MOX systems used a variable O2 dosage that reproduces the dynamic OTR profile of a barrel [2].

RESULTS: The active MOX system was performed with the addition of oak wood, reproducing the volume of wood in contact with wine from a barrel. Since the wine was sampled at different times (45, 90, 135 and 180 days), different statistical procedures have been performed to establish the differences between them throughout the study period and, in the end, to relate the analytical composition to the sensory analysis of the wine.

CONCLUSIONS

Alternative aging systems, based on a passive MOX (HDPE, PDMS and StW) have proved to be suitable for wine aging, since the results obtained were similar than ones for wines from a classic active MOX, made in stainless steel tanks, and barrels. However, some differences were observed that allow their differentiation. Both, on a sensory and analytical level, barrel wines were the most different, being algo possible the differentiation of PDMS wines from H-HDPE and MOX and from Ö-HDPE, StW and L-HDPE. Of all the parameters analyzed, volatile composition was the one that most contributed to the differentiation, which could be mainly due to the way in which the wine accesses the compounds present in the wood, compared to the rest of the aging systems.

Agri-photovoltaics: first experience above Riesling vines

Agri-photovoltaics (apv) describes the dual use of an agricultural area for food production and solar power generation. There are already a number of systems in operation around the world with various crops and under a wide range of different set-ups. In large parts, they still allow mechanical cultivation and other positive side effects of an APV system were observed in addition to the increase in utilization in the form of electricity and food: effects on the water balance and passive protection against extreme weather events.

The moment of preharvest elicitor application influence its final effect on winegrapes quality

Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites of grapes. Plants produce a wide variety of this type of metabolites through diverse biosynthesis pathways and their production is sometimes a response to external stimuli, either environmental or biotic stresses. Some of them may act as chemical defenses against pathogens or herbivores and their synthesis is increased when the attack exists. However, it is remarkable that the synthesis of these interesting compounds can be activated even when the stimulus is not present, with the use of elicitors. These are substances that when applied exogenously trigger the biosynthetic pathways conducting to the synthesis of these defense compounds.

Determinazione della frazione aromatica dei vini, quale strumento per-la valorizzazione del territorio viticolo

La caratterizzazione della frazione volatile aromatica dei vini attraverso l’analisi qualiquantitativa dei diversi composti, ha portato corne primo risultato la netta differenziazione delle annate in prova.

100 guardians for 100 vines

G.r.a.s.p.o. Is not only the acronym for gruppo di ricerca per la salvaguardia e preservazione dell’originalità viticola di ogni territorio (‘research group for the safeguard and preservation of the originality of every territory’s grapes’), and is not just the italian synonym for ‘raspo’ (‘peduncle’) as treccani dictionary mentions: in the veneto dialect it is the whole bunch of grapes.

Isotope composition of wine as indicator of terroir spatial variability

The goal of this work was to determine the spatial variability of terroir using the isotope composition of wine. Carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) stable isotope composition was measured in wines from Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) vineyard, located in Rioja Appellation (Spain). Stable isotope composition, leaf area, vigour, yield components, grape and wine composition were determined in a grid of 85 geo-referenced points, that was drawn across the 5 ha vineyard area
