Il monitoraggio meteorologico come strumento per la gestione della variabilità climatica in Franciacorta

Abstract

[English version below]

Nel 2007 è stata avviata una ricerca nell’areale di produzione del Franciacorta DOCG che ha riguardato un ampio numero di vigneti di Chardonnay con riferimento ai quali sono stati acquisite le serie storiche dal 2001 relative a (i) decorso delle epoche fenologiche, (ii) curve di maturazione e (iii) dati prodotti dalla rete meteorologica consortile. Tali dati hanno permesso di produrre un modello empirico agrofenologico relativo allo Chardonnay nell’areale considerato e di calibrare e validare un modello meccanicistico di simulazione della produttività primaria, chiamato SIM_PP.

In 2007 a research was started on an high number of vineyards in the Franciacorta AOC area. From 2001 to 2009, phonological stages records and ripening kinetics data were collected. Starting from phenological data, an empiric agrophenological model was build, in order to estimate principal stages by using daily cumulated temperature. Furthermore, ripening kinetics were compared to mechanicistic model simulations (SIM_PP, Mariani and Maugeri, 2002). Starting from air daily temperatures, SIM_PP simulates the Net Primary Production, allocation dynamics in sink organs and the sugars storage in berries, using a mechanism based on transpiration and mass transport flux.
The comparison between real in-field situation and gathered simulations allowed to evaluate mechanicistic and empirical models performance.

Exploring changes in browning kinetics, color, and antioxidants due to dealcoholization of wine

The global consumer demand for low or non-alcoholic wine is growing steadily in recent years, driven by health concerns, religious beliefs, and personal taste preferences etc.. Consequently, the removal of alcohol from wine can significantly alter its chemical and sensory properties, including color, aroma, and taste, which make a significant challenge for consumer to accept these products. Ethanol plays a crucial role in various chemical reactions and interactions that contribute to the development of wine’s characteristics.

An overview of geological influences on South African vineyards

The role of soils and bedrock geology has long been acknowledged as a fundamental component of terroir. In South Africa the influence of geology is misunderstood and some important geological components will be highlighted in this paper.

Revisiting esters hydrolysis in young white wines

Esters play an essential role in the young white wines’ fruity expression, particularly the groups of ethyl esters of fatty acids (EEFAs) and higher alcohol acetates (HAAs) [1]. However, generally, these groups of esters decrease relatively fast during the first two years of ageing [1, 2].
