Guyot or pergola for dehydration of Rondinella grape

Abstract

AIM: Pergola veronese is the most important vine training system in Valpolicella area but Guyot in the last decades is diffusing. Rondinella is one of the three most important varieties to make Amarone wine. In this study we compared the response of Rondinella grape during postharvest dehydration from vines trained with Guyot or Pergola.

METHODS: Grapes were harvested at the same ripening stage but the grape production of Guyot and Pergola was quite different, higher in Pergola vines. Grape bunches were placed in commercial fruttaio and left to dehydrate with close-open system until reaching a weight loss of 30%. Samplings were done at 10, 20, and 30% weight loss. Berry juice enochemical analyses were performed with WineScanTM (Foss Italia) whereas the analyses of specific polyphenol compounds such as trans-resveratrol, quercetin-glucoside, and the monoglucoside anthocyanins were carried out by HPLC. Electronic nose was used to measure the juice headspace gas and GC/MS to analyze the specific VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

RESULTS: Not significant difference in the grape characteristics between the two samples were observed during dehydration; sugars increased at the same extent, about 30% in proportion with the weight loss. The acidity did not change and was similar between the two samples but malic acid initially decreased and then increased. FAN was much higher in Guyot sample at harvest and the difference was kept during dehydration, probably due to higher yield of Pergola. Guyot sample had a higher content in quercetin and monoglucoside anthocyanins while Pergola grapes had higher content in total polyphenols and total anthocyanins and specifically in trans-resveratrol and complexed anthocyanins. Electronic nose revealed a significant difference in grape must volatiles between the two samples which was validated by different concentration in VOCs.

CONCLUSIONS

Guyot provide grapes with high content of free anthocyanins and quercetin while Pergola grapes have high content in trans-resveratrol and total anthocyanins that increased greater in Pergola than in Guyot. A significant difference in VOCs were measured which was validated by electronic nose

Effect of moderate wine consumption in animal models

In 1979, the so-called “french paradox” was proposed, that is, a correlation between wine consumption, a diet rich in saturated fats, and a low mortality from coronary heart disease. On the other hand, it has also been described that alcohol consumption has negative effects on aging and increases the risk of liver cirrhosis and cancer. However, both hypotheses are based on population studies that may present distortions due to multiple factors (geographic, diet, smoking, socioeconomic level, etc.).

Indice bioclimatique de qualité Fregoni

La viticulture dans le monde est sous l’étroite dépendance des conditions climatiques. En effet, la culture de la vigne est concentrée entre 30° et 50° de latitude Nord et 30° à 40° de latitude Sud

Fingerprinting as approach to unlock black box of taste

The black box of taste is getting unlocked. The starting point is to distinguish taste from tasting. Consider taste as a product characteristic; tasting is a sensorial activity. Consequently, taste can be studied on a molecular level and therefore be assessed more objectively, whilst tasting is a human activity and by definition subjective.

Soil survey and chemical parameters evaluation in viticultural zoning

The most recent methodological developments in soil survey and land evaluation, that can be taken as reference in the viticultural field, go over usage of the GIS and database. These informatic tools, which begin to be widely utilised, consent to realise evaluations at different geographic scale and with different data quality and quantity in entrance.

Oenological potential of cv. Tortojona: A minority grape variety from Extremadura, southwest Spain

This work, included in the VAVEGEX project, aims to evaluate the oenological, phenolic, chromatic and sensory characteristics of the grapes, must and wines produced from cv. Tortojona, minority variety grown in Extremadura region (Southwest, Spain).
