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.

Definition of functional indicators of the vine to characterize wine terroirs

La caractérisation des terroirs viticoles est traditionnellement basée sur des descripteurs de la géologie et de la pédologie des différents milieux rencontrés, couplées à des données climatiques

Advancing wine authentication: non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy and machine learning for vintage and quality traits assessment

Wine fraud, encompassing counterfeiting and adulteration, poses a significant threat to the wine industry, resulting in annual losses totalling billions of dollars.

Genomic comparison on O. oeni: can l. hilgardii be a novel starter culture in malolactic fermentation?

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) the microbial bioconversion of L-malic acid into L-lactic acid, is a pivotal metabolic process that holds fundamental significance for the quality and organoleptic characteristics of some wines. Oenococcus oeni is considered to be the main player in this conversion, and it is globally used as a starter culture for mlf thanks to his capacity to tolerate the harsh wine environment.

Exploring the impact of different closures on tannin evolutions by using metabolomic approach

Condensed tannins (CTs), polymers of flavan-3-ols, are a class of polyphenolic compounds that play a significant role in the organoleptic qualities of red wines, particularly influencing color, astringency and bitterness. These properties are highly dependent on size and structure of these compounds.

THE IMPACT OF NON-SACCHAROMYCES YEASTS ON THE WHITE WINE QUALITY

Selected strains of non-Saccharomyces yeasts showed a positive effect on sensory characteristics and aromatic complexity of wine. A sequential microbial culture of non-Saccharomyces and S. cerevisiae species is usually inoculated due to poorer fermentability of non-Saccharomyces species. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in the production of white wines. We evaluated how individual combinations of sequential inoculations of non-Saccharomyces and S. cerevisiae species affect the aromatic compounds (volatile thiols and esters) and sensory characteristics of the wines.
