Elementi in traccia e ultratraccia nell’uva: possibili applicazioni ai fini della tracciabilità geografica

Abstract

[English version below]

Nel presente studio si è ricercata la possibilità di associare l’uva al territorio mediante parametri chimici indipendenti da variabili climatiche ed antropiche.
Nei Colli Euganei, la presenza di vitigni allevati su terreni con un’elevata eterogeneità geochimica in un areale ristretto, ha permesso di minimizzare tali variabili oggetto di disturbo ai fini della comprensione dei processi di mobilità degli elementi dal suolo alla vite, in funzione del luogo di coltivazione. Sono stati prelevati campioni di suolo ed uva provenienti da aree differenti, determinate le concentrazioni di alcuni elementi in traccia ed ultratraccia e ricercate possibili correlazioni in funzione dell’areale di allevamento.

In this study we sought the possibility of linking the grape vine to the territory by using chemical parameters not related to anthropogenic climatic variables. In the Euganenan Hills, the presence of vines grown on soils with high geochemical heterogeneity in a narrow range, allowed us to minimize these variables usually interfering with understanding the process of mobility of elements from soil to vine, depending on the site of cultivation. Soil samples and grapes from different areas have been collected and have been determined the concentrations of certain trace and ultra trace elements and have been sought possible correlations according to the breeding area.

Cytochrome P450 CYP71BE5 from grapevine (Vitis vinifera) catalyzes the formation of the spicy aroma compound, (-)-rotundone

(-)-Rotundone, an oxygenated sesquiterpene, is a potent odorant molecule with a characteristic spicy aroma existing in various plants including grapes1. It is considered as a significant compound notably in wines and grapes because of its low sensory threshold (16 ng L-1 in red wine, 8 ng L-1 in water) and aroma properties. (-)-Rotundone was first identified in red wine made from the grape cultivar Syrah (regionally called Shiraz) in Australia1, and then it was found in several grape varieties such as Duras, Grüner Veltliner, Schioppettino and Vespolina from Europe2, 3. Several environmental factors affecting the accumulation of (-)-Rotundone during the grape maturation, were reported such as ambient temperature4, soil properties and topography5, soil moisture from irrigation and light exposure in the bunch zone by leaf removal2.

Energy partitioning and functionality of photosystem II in water-stressed grapevines during heatwaves revealed by continuous measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence

The increased intensity and frequency of heatwaves, coupled with prolonged periods of drought, are a significant threat to viticulture worldwide. During these conditions the more exposed leaves can show visible symptoms of heat damage. We monitored the functionality of photosystem II (PSII) in the field to better understand the impact of heatwaves on canopy performance. A factorial experiment was established in summer 2023 using Shiraz grapevines in the Barossa valley of South Australia, involving water-stressed and well-watered vines.
