Rapporti tra diverse tipologie di terreno e risposte produttive e qualitative delle uve Merlot e Carmenère nell’area DOC Piave

Abstract

[English version below]

Da anni la ricerca viticola sta orientando le sue attenzioni verso lo studio della vocazionalità degli ecosistemi viticoli, perché fulcro della produttività della vite e qualità dei suoi frutti. Dal 2007 anche l’area a DOC del Piave, situata nella parte orientale della regione Veneto, è oggetto di uno specifico studio.
Il lavoro ha messo a confronto due diverse tipologie di suolo, uno a tessitura fine (limoso –argilloso) più a sud dell’area DOC Piave e l’altro a tessitura più grossolana (ghiaioso –ciottoloso) nella zona più a nord. Entrambe le varietà coltivate erano allevate a Sylvoz, innestate su Kober 5BB. Lo studio ha verificato nella bacca il contenuto di sostanze coloranti, il contenuto in solidi solubili, dell’acidità totale, del pH oltre ai parametri produttivi e vegetativi quali: n° grappoli/vite, produzione uva/vite, peso medio del grappolo e il legno di potatura.
I risultati ottenuti nel triennio, hanno permesso di evidenziare come le caratteristiche del terreno abbiano influenzato nettamente sia le rese produttive sia la qualità delle uve. Qualità che per la varietà Merlot è stata superiore nei suoli limoso – argillosi, al contrario il Carmenère ha trovato il miglior adattamento nei suoli ghiaioso – ciottolosi. L’analisi sensoriale ha confermato i dati analitici del Merlot ma non pienamente quelli del Carmenère.

Giving the important effects of the environmental factors on the vine productivity and grape quality, a branch of viticulture research has been focusing on the relation between vines and their ecosystems for years.
The DOC Piave area, located in the eastern part of the Veneto region, was the object of a specific zoning study from 2007 to 2009.
The study compared two different types of soils, one located in the Southern part of the DOC Area has clay-loam texture, the other located further Nord has a gravelly texture. For both varieties the trellising system was Sylvoz and the vines were grafted on Kober 5bb. Sugar accumulation, pigments amount, total acidity and pH were determined along with vegetative and productive parameters.
The results confirmed that there exist a close relationship between soil and grape quality, but each variety responds in a different way: Merlot had the most interesting quality when grown clay-loam soils, while a different behaviour was found in Carmenere. The wine sensory score confirmed the grape analysis for Merlot, but only partially for Carmenere.

Résistance stomatique et caractérisation hydrique des terroirs viticoles

The analysis of the distribution of natural plant populations allows an ecological characterization of cultivated environments in thermal, water and trophic terms; it guides the choice or selection of plants (or grape varieties) to cultivate (Astruc et al ., 1984, 1987; Delpoux, 1971; Jacquinet and Astruc, 1979). This approach has given good results in areas where the topography is the determining factor in the ecological differentiation of the terroirs.

IMPACT OF THE WINES’ QUALITY ON THE WINE DISTILLATES’ ORGANOLEPTIC PROFILE

Brandy de Jerez (BJ) is a spirit drink made exclusively from spirits and wine distillates and is characterized by the use of casks for aging that previously contained Sherries. The quality and sensory complexity of BJ depend on the raw materials and some factors: grape variety, conditions during processing the wine and its distillation, as well as the aging in the cask. Therefore, the original compounds of the grapes from which it comes are of great interest (1 y 2) being in most cases the Airén variety. Their relationship with the quality of the musts and the wines obtained from them has been studied (3) and varies each year of harvest depending on the weather conditions (4).

Caractéristiques édaphiques et potentialités qualitatives des terroirs du vignoble languedocien

Dans le vignoble languedocien, les potentialités qualitatives des terroirs dépendent surtout de leurs caractéristiques édaphiques : la fertilité agronomique d’une part et sa nature géopédologique d’autre part.

NADES extraction of anthocyanins derivatives from grape pomace

Grape pomace is one of the main by-products generated after pressing in wine-making. It’s valorization through the extraction of bioactive compounds is the answer for the development of sustainable processes. Nevertheless, in the recovery of anthocyanins derivatives, the extraction stage continues to be a limiting step. The nature of the sample and the type of solvent determine the efficiency of the process
