Does the location of wine cellars have significant impact on the evolution of madeira wine polyphenols?

Abstract

Unlike table wines, Madeira Wine (MW,17-22% ABV) benefits from a long aging period under thermo-oxidative aging conditions, during which it gains its unique and complex flavour. A broad study is ongoing and aims to assess if the differences in the storage conditions impact significantly the evolution of MWs during canteiro aging. Considering that polyphenols have a significant role in the wine aging, we intended to appraise if there are significant differences in the evolution trends of polyphenols of MWs aging in different cellars under canteiro. Different MWs were aged into brand-new oak casks in two different wine cellars, one in Funchal (B) and other in Caniçal (Z). Temperature and humidity data were sensor recorded. RP-HPLC-DAD was used to perform the identification and quantification of polyphenols [1]. CIELab parameters were also assessed, using an UV-Vis spectrophotometer. For now, it was only analysed the results of the first 9 months. Grape-derived polyphenols remained steady in older wines (2008), while are still developing in younger wines. Vanillin and syringaldehyde contents increased in all samples, probably because wine aging is being developed in brand-new oak casks. Malvasia 2008 wines displayed the highest increase in L* and b*. The 2018 wines also revealed an increase in L* and b* values, but still lower than those of 2008. The room temperature and the thermal amplitude are always higher in location B while humidity is always higher in location Z.Up to 9 months of oak aging it is not noticeable substantial differences between wines polyphenolic profiles, however there are some indications that MWs placed in warmer wine cellars already show signs of greater browning.Vanda Pereira is thankful to ARDITI for her grant (M1420-09-5369-FSE-000001).

Use of cyclodextrins to improve grape must fermentability thanks to their sequestering effect on medium-chain fatty acids

Cyclodextrins are complex cyclic oligosaccharides of glucose units. They are produced from the breakdown of starch by the enzymatic reaction of glucosyltransferase. The result is a ring-shaped molecule with a cavity with a hydrophilic outer part and a hydrophobic inner part. As a consequence of this cavity, cyclodextrin is able to form complexes with non-polar organic molecules [1,2].

Effect of spray with autochthonous Trichoderma strains and its secondary metabolites on the quality of Tempranillo grape

Trichoderma is one of the most widely used fungal biocontrol agents on vineyards due to its multiple benefits on this crop, such as its fungicidal and growth promoting capacity. In this work, we have analyzed the effect on the concentration of nutrients in grapevine leaves and on the quality of the grape must after spraying an autochthonous strain of Trichoderma harzianum and one of the main secondary metabolites produced by this genus, 6-pentyl-α-pyrone (6PP).

Topographic modeling with GIS at Serra Gaúcha, Brazil: elements to study viticultural terroir

Brazil is historically known at the international wine market as an importer, eventhough in the last decades there was an increase in quantity and quality of the internal production. Nowadays, about 40% of fine wines comsuption of the country are national ones. The main production region is called Serra Gaúcha, where the natural conditions are heterogeneous and viticulture is develloped in small properties, mainly done by the owners family.

Influenza di alcuni aspetti ambientali sul contenuto di stilbeni nel vino nell’area della DOC “Sangiovese di Romagna” (Italia)

The ambition of the zonation of the Doc “Sangiovese di Romagna” is described as 25 siti sperimentali, aventi diversa origine geologica, in cui è stato individuato un vigneto omogeneo per la determinazione dei principali parametri viticoli ed enologici. In seguito è stato analizzato il contentto di stilbeni nei vini al fine di indepth il legame con le charatteristiche geopedologiche. The studio describes the positive relationship between the altitude and the content of the trans -piceide nelle province di Forlì and Ravenna and of the trans -resveratrolo a Ravenna. I suoli con maggiore calcare attivo hanno fornito vini più ricchi in stilbeni.
