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.

Climatic zoning of viticultural production periods over the year in the tropical zone: application of the methodology of the Geoviticulture MCC system

L’objectif de cette recherche est le zonage climatique des périodes viticoles de l’année dans la Vallée du São Francisco, région brésilienne productrice de vins située en climat tropical semi-aride. Dans cette région, la production peut être échelonnée sur tous les mois de l’année.

Variety specific thresholds for plant-based indicators of vine nitrogen status

Aim: Several plant-based indicators of vine N status are reported in the literature. Among these, yeast assimilable nitrogen in grape must (YAN) and total N concentration of petiole and leaf blades are considered to be reliable indicators and so is the chlorophyll index, measured with a device called N-tester. The N-tester index is used to measure the intensity of the green colour of the leaf blade, and therefore to estimate its chlorophyll content.

The antioxidant properties of wine lees extracts in model wine

While the ethanol and tartaric acid contained in wine lees are typically recovered by distilleries, the remaining solid fraction (yeast biomass) is usually disposed of, thus negatively affecting the overall sustainability of the wine industry.

SENSORY PROPERTIES IMPORTANT TO AUSTRALIAN FINE WINE CONSUMER SEGMENT PERCEPTION OF CHARDONNAY WINE COMPLEXITY AND PREFERENCE

Wine complexity is considered a multidimensional yet equivocal sensory percept. This project uncovered sensory attributes Australian Chardonnay wine consumers associate with Chardonnay wine complexity
and correlations between expert and consumer perceived wine complexity and preference. A
wine consumer test examined 6 Australian Chardonnay wines of three complexity levels designated low (LC1&2), medium (MC1&2), and high (HC1&2) by an expert panel (n = 8) using a benchtop sensory task. Consumers (n = 81) rated their perceived liking using a 9-point hedonic scale; wine complexity with a 5-point scale anchored “low”, “low-medium”, “medium”, “medium-high”, and “high” and lastly, profiled the wines using Rate-All-That-Apply (RATA). Psychographic segmentation with the Fine Wine Instrument
(FWI) generated three segments; Wine Enthusiasts (WE n=29), Aspirants (ASP n=40) and No- Frills (NF n=12).

Étude de la composante climatique du terroir viticole en Val de Loire : relation avec les facteurs physiques du milieu

The research carried out by the URVV of the INRA center in Angers aims to develop a methodology for the integrated characterization of the natural factors of viticultural terroirs, representative of the operating conditions of the vine and the sensory differences of the wines. In this context, the concept of Basic Terroir Unit (UTB) has been developed. The UTB represents a viticultural surface of variable geographical extension, defined as the association in a given place of a geological, pedological and landscape component, Morlat (1989), Riou et al. (1995).
