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.

Relationship between chemical parameters of tannins and in-mouth attributes of grape phenolic fractions

Establish relationships between taste and mouthfeel properties of grapes and tannin-related chemical parameters. Tempranillo Tinto and Garnacha Tinta grapes were harvested from distinct blocks in different dates; each sample collection date was separated by one week. Grapes were destemmed and macerated in 15% of ethanol for one week. The polyphenolic fraction (PF) of samples was submitted to solid phase extraction on C18 cartridges and recovered with ethanol. PFs were reconstituted in wine model and their taste and mouthfeel properties were characterised by rate-K-attributes methodology. In parallel, concentration (TC) and activity (TAc) of tannins as well as the concentration of tannins linked to anthocyanins (T-A) were determined using HPLC-UV–VIS.

Contribution of seeds to red wine phenolic composition

Tannin composition is an important attribute in red wine quality, and it is therefore critical to understand the factors influencing tannin extraction during alcoholic fermentation. Tannins contribute to the mouthfeel of wines, but they also form pigmented polymers...

Effect of post-harvest ozone treatments on the skin phenolic composition and extractability of red winegrapes cv Nebbiolo and Barbera

Wine industry is looking forward for innovative, safe and eco-friendly antimicrobial products allowing the reduction of chemical treatments in the grape defense and the winemaking process that can affect negatively the quality of the product. Ozone has been tested in food industry giving good results in preventing fungi and bacteria growth on a wide spectrum of vegetables and fruits, due to its oxidant activity and ability to attack numerous cellular constituents. Ozone leaves no chemical residues on the food surface, decomposing itself rapidly in oxygen. Gaseous ozone has been already tested for table grapes storage and on wine grapes during withering.
