Potentiel des sols viticoles et qualité des vins

Abstract

[English version below]

La qualité des vins dépend de différents facteurs et procédés, notamment de la nature des terrains viticoles. Dans ce travail, nous avons cherché à établir les liens entre descripteurs pédologiques des parcelles et descripteurs sensoriels des vins. Sur la base de Classifications Ascendantes Hiérarchiques (CAH) et d’Analyses en Composante Principale (ACP), il a été possible d’établir des liens entre la nature des parcelles (sableuse, argileuse, sablo-graveuleuse) et certains descripteurs sensoriels des vins (chaleur, astringence, fruit noir) et plus globalement avec le type de vins élaborés.

Wine quality depends on various factors and processes, including type of soil. In this study, we sought to establish links between pedological data and sensory attributes of wines. Based on Hierarchical Ascendant Classification (HAC) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), it was possible to establish links between the nature of the parcels (sandy, clayey, gravelly-sand) and some wine sensory descriptors (heat, astringency, black fruit) and more generally with the type of wines.

Manipulating grapevine bud fruitfulness

Bud fruitfulness is a key component of reproductive performance of grapevine. It plays a significant role in annual yield variation of vineyards as it is a prerequisite of crop production in the following season. Various exogenous and endogenous factors influencing the development of inflorescence primordia (IP) have been studied. However, the research on molecular genetic control of bud fruitfulness, especially how it interacts with environmental factors is still lacking. This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism of effects of temperature and light on grapevine bud fruitfulness during initiation and differentiation of IP.

Distribution and sensory impact of new oak wood-derived compounds in wines

Despite the numerous research studies carried out in recent years, the study of wine aroma remains of great interest due to its complexity. Wine maturation in oak barrels is described as an important step in the production of quality wines. In fact, oak wood develops several aromatic nuances through its toasting which can be released into the wine. A great deal of work has been performed in order to identify the wood-derived volatile compounds that contribute to wine aroma (e.g., whisky-lactone, maltol, eugenol, guaiacol, vanillin).

Concorrenza, qualità, zonazione. Una valutazione economica della relazione tra politiche, regole e strumenti di gestione dei prodotti del territorio

In questa nota viene analizzata l’importanza della conoscenza del territorio nel funzionamento del mercato dei prodotti alimentari di qualità e nella gestione delle denominazioni di origine.
La denominazione di origine si sta affermando in tutti i mercati alimentari, dopo l’esperienza secolare maturata nel mercato del vino. Iniziative nel campo del turismo, delle produzioni ecologiche, della promozione dello sviluppo, sono collegate alla dimensione territoriale, in risposta ad un generale orientamento della domanda.
