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.

“Q & A” of the european commission for labeling and desalcoholization for wines: european wine “soft-law”?

Recently, the European Commission seems to have inaugurated a new mechanism for regulating the wine sector. Through two communications, articulated in the form of “Questions & Answers”, concerning the new rules for labeling (24.11.2023) and dealcoholization of wine (15.01.2024), the Commission is not simply “explaining” the new rules but, in an approach close to the theory of “Circulaire Normative” established in comparative law, chooses among different interpretations and even adds Praeter Legem constraints.

Application of remote sensing by unmanned aerial vehicles to map variability in Ontario Riesling and Cabernet Franc vineyards

The objective of this investigation was to verify usefulness of proximal sensing technology and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for mapping variables e.g., vine size (potential vigor), soil and vine water status, yield, fruit composition, and virus incidence in vineyards.

Genetic causes of SO2 consumption in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

SO2 is used during winemaking for its anti-oxidative and anti-microbial properties. A high SO2 concentration in the wine has negative impacts by hiding wine aromas and delaying malolactic fermentation.

Defoliation combined with exogenous ABA application results in slower ripening and improved anthocyanin profile

Reducing sugar accumulation in grape (Vitis vinifera L.) berries may be a way to mitigate the effect of climate change. Managing canopy and crop load is an effective way to do so, however, reducing canopy size has been demonstrated to induce undesirable effects on anthocyanins. The aim of this study was to test if an application of exogenous ABA on the grape berries of defoliated vines (⅔ of the leaves removed) can result in slower sugar accumulation while maintaining grape and wine quality. An experiment with defoliation and exogenous ABA application on directly on clusters (factorial design 2×2) was performed with ‘Tempranillo’ fruit-bearing cuttings.
