Uve e vini in vulcaniti basiche anorogeniche dei lessini meridionali, impronta petrochimica e assimilazione di metalli pesanti

Abstract

[English version below]

Nel 2009 sono stati prelevati e analizzati mediante XRF (X-ray fluorescence) campioni di suolo, in vigneti sperimentali siti nelle province di Vicenza e di Ancona. Sono stati inoltre determinati in 2 campioni di mosto e 2 di vino delle varietà Verdicchio e Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, ed in 2 di uva Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, gli elementi in traccia mediante ICP-MS (Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry). Lo studio ha consentito di definire la qualità di uva e vini, i rapporti caratteristici per ogni tipologia di suolo, e caratterizzare l’impronta geochimica in un ampio areale in cui le modeste differenze climatiche non influiscono sulle dinamiche di assimilazione. Sono state definite le relazioni fra matrice suolo e vino attraverso il confronto fra le concentrazioni dei metalli analizzati nelle varie matrici e varietà di uva.

In 2009, 18 samples of soils, coming from experimental vineyards in Vicenza and Ancona, were collected and analysed using XRF technique, to characterize major and minor element concentration. Moreover, 2 samples of must, 2 samples of wine (one of each varieties Verdicchio and Refosco dal peduncolo rosso) and 2 samples of grapes Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, were investigated using ICP-MS (Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry) technique in order to define their trace elements concentrations. The aim of this study has been not only to characterize the quality of the grapes and the wines, but also to define the typical ratios between these two variable for each soils, and to outline geochemical fingerprints in a wide area where climatic differences have limited influence on the assimilation processes. The comparison of heavy metals concentrations between the several matrix and the varieties of grapes allow to define the relationship between soil matrix and wine.

New oenological technology for adaptation to climate change: reduction of alcohol content during wine fermentation through stripping, with fermentative CO2

The capture and valorization of fermentative CO2 have been developed for several years by the company w platform for internal uses, notably in the cellars: inerting, cooling, reduction of water consumption, extraction, with aroma valorization. In a context of climatic warming during the vegetative cycle, grapes are currently harvested with a significant sugar concentration, a phenomenon that is expected to intensify in the coming decades. The high alcohol content of the resulting wines goes against the demand of customers who are seeking high-quality wines with less alcohol.

Understanding vine response to Mediterranean summer stress for the development of adaptation strategies – in the kaolin case

In this video recording of the IVES science meeting 2023, Sara Bernardo (CITAB, University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro, Vila Real, Portugal) speaks about understanding vine response to Mediterranean summer stress for the development of adaptation strategies – in the kaolin case. This presentation is based on an original article accessible for free on OENO One.

Microbial life in the grapevine: what can we expect from the leaf microbiome?

The above-ground parts of plants, which constitute the phyllosphere, have long been considered devoid of bacteria and fungi, at least in their internal tissues and microbial presence there was long considered a sign of disease. However, recent studies have shown that plants harbour complex bacterial communities, the so-called “microbiome”[1]. We are only beginning to unravel the origin of these bacterial plant inhabitants, their community structure and their roles, which in analogy to the gut microbiome, are likely to be of essential nature. Among their multifaceted metabolic possibilities, bacteria have been recently demonstrated to emit a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can greatly impact the growth and development of both the plant and its disease-causing agents.
