Influenze pedo-ambientali su produzione, qualità e caratteristiche sensoriali dell’Albana di Romagna

Abstract

[English version below]

L’Albana è il vitigno a bacca bianca tradizionale delle colline della Romagna, dove é presente per più di 2.500 ha. Con le sue uve si produce il vino “Albana di Romagna”, una delle più storiche D.O.C.G. italiane essendo stata costituita nel 1987. La maggiore concentrazione di vigneti di Albana si trova nell’Imolese e nelle colline del Ravennate, ma ben conosciuta per la qualità del prodotto é anche la produzione di Bertinoro, nel Forlivese. Nell’ambito di un progetto di zonazione viticola della collina romagnola, il territorio classico dell’Albana é stato sottoposto ad un accurato studio pedologico, climatico, agronomico e viti-enologico. Il complesso dei risultati ha consentito di far emergere alcuni ambienti pedologici in cui l’Albana fornisce vini dalle caratteristiche sensoriali distinguibili.

The Albana is the typical white grapevine variety of the Romagna hills, where it occupies more than 2.500 ha. The Italian DOCG “Albana di Romagna”, created in 1987, is one of the oldest in the country. Highest concentrations of this variety can be found around Imola and the hills of Ravenna although the productions of Bertinoro, in Forlì zone, are well know for their quality. As part of a zoning project of the Romagna hills, the classic territory of the Albana was object of an accurate geo-pedologic, climatic, agronomic and viti-enological assessment. The results have highlighted some environments in which Albana wines display recognisable sensory characteristics.

An infrared laser sensor to characterize the gaseous headspace of champagne glasses under static and swirling conditions

Right after the pouring of champagne in a glass, thousands of rising and bursting bubbles convey gas-phase CO2 and volatile organic compounds in the headspace above the champagne surface, thus progressively modifying the gaseous chemical space perceived by the consumer [1]

Etude des effets millésime, situation et sol à partir d’un observatoire du Gamay en beaujolais

Des expérimentations sur Gamay ont été réalisées en Beaujolais de 2000 à 2006 sur 10 parcelles d’AOC différentes. De nombreuses mesures ont été effectuées à différents stades (vigne, baies récoltées, vinification et bouteille avec ou sans vieillissement). Ces mesures sont également de natures différentes (données phénologiques, analytiques, dégustation). Des analyses de la composition des sols sont également disponibles.

Functional characterization of grapevine MLO genes to define their roles in Powdery mildew susceptibility by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing

Successful powdery mildew (PM) infection in plants relies on Mildew Resistance Locus O (MLO) genes, which encode susceptibility factors essential for fungal penetration. In Arabidopsis, loss-of-function mutations in three clade-V MLOs, AtMLO2, 6, and 12 confer complete resistance to PM infection. Since then, efforts are on to discover MLO genes contributing to PM susceptibility in many species to introduce mlo-based PM-resistance. Earlier studies in tomato and grapevine, using the RNAi approach, attributed PM susceptibility to SlMLO1, 5, and 8 and VvMLO3, 13, and 17, respectively indicating likely functional redundancy among MLOs.

Screening of Italian red wines for quercetin precipitation risk index

Quercetin (Q), a phenolic compound released from grape skins during red wine maceration, has been identified as a source of instability in bottled wines, particularly Sangiovese, due to crystallisation. This phenomenon represents an economic challenge for producers and affects wine clarity and consumer perception.
