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

Abstract

[English version below]

Nell’ambito della zonazione della Doc “Sangiovese di Romagna” sono stati descritti 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 contenuto di stilbeni nei vini al fine di approfondirne il legame con le caratteristiche geopedologiche. Lo studio descrive la relazione positiva tra l’altitudine e il contenuto di trans-piceide nelle province di Forlì e Ravenna e di trans-resveratrolo a Ravenna. I suoli con maggiore calcare attivo hanno fornito vini più ricchi in stilbeni.

The “Sangiovese di Romagna” zoning characterized 25 sites, based on a different geological origin. For each site, a representative commercial vineyard was chosen and the main viticultural and oenological parameters were recorded. The wine stilbene content was analyzed to investigate the effect of the geological origin and the soil composition. Positive relations between site elevation and trans-resveratrol and site elevation and trans-piceid were observed in the Ravenna and, Forlì and Ravenna area, respectively. The higher the active lime in the soils the richer the stilbenes in the wines.

Influence of must fining on wine pinking: relationship between electrochemical and colorimetric measurements and pinking attitude of wine

“Pinking” is a term used to define an abnormal pink coloration assumed by white wines in certain cases. Despite the are many hypotheses about the causes of this phenomenon, pinking still represents an issue for the wine industry. In the absence of reliable preventive strategies, wineries often rely on treatments such as charcoal fining, which is also negatively impacting wine aroma. This study aims at evaluating the potential of different fining agents based on animal or vegetal proteins to prevent wine pinking when applied at the level of must clarification. The work was carried out on Lugana wines, which is well-recognised as sensible to pinking problems. METHODS: Two experimental Lugana musts were obtained by applying a standard winemaking protocol and were then clarified with different commercial preparations based on vegetal proteins or casein, alone or in combination with PVPP. A control only using pectolytic enzyme was also prepared. Finings were carried out at 4°C for 16h, and the clear must (200 NTU) was then fermented in controlled conditions.

The Australian geographical indication process

The first white settlers arrived in Australia in 1788 and brought grape vine cuttings with them. As migration to Australia continued to grow during the XIX Century more and more vine cuttings, viticulturists and winemakers from Britain, France, Germany, ltaly, Switzerland and Yugoslavia founded their businesses.

Influence of Partial Rootzone Drying on grape and wine anthocyanin composition

The effect of Partial Rootzone Drying (PRD) on fruit and wine composition has been investigated. At harvest, total anthocyanin and phenolic concentration of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon fruit was either unaltered or increased by PRD relative to control irrigation over two seasons. Where there was an increase in anthocyanin concentration

Enological characters of thirty vines in four different zones of Tuscany

In the last few years the development of HPLC techniques together with multivariate statistical methods allowed to set methodics of large discriminant and classing efficacy in the study of wine-grapes.
