Caratterizzazione varietale della CV. Vranac del Montenegro: primi risultati

Abstract

[English version below]

Questo studio ha permesso di raccogliere alcune informazioni sul profilo chimico della cultivar Vranac coltivata in Montenegro. L’uva ha mostrato di raggiungere un buon accumulo zuccherino indipendentemente dall’annata anche se coltivata su suoli diversi. Può raggiungere un buon tenore di antociani e un discreto contenuto di tannini, presenta un profilo antocianico a prevalenza di malvidina-3-G con tenori elevati di antociani acilati. Dal punto di vista aromatico si tratta di una cultivar neutra con un profilo glicosidico a prevalenza di benzenoidi. Dal confronto tra i vini sperimentali e quelli del commercio si può osservare che le potenzialità del vitigno sono buone ma vanno potenziate con un’adatta tecnica di vinificazione per cui saranno necessarie ulteriori prove tecnologiche.

This study has allowed us to gather some information on the chemical profile of Vranac cultivars grown in Montenegro. The grape has been shown to achieve good sugar accumulation independent of the year even if grown on different soils. It can reach a good content of anthocyanins and medium of tannins. Malvidina-3-G was predominant in the anthocyanic profile and the levels of acylated anthocyanins were high. It is a neutral cultivar with a prevalence of glycosidic benzenoids in the aroma profile. The comparison between the experimental and commercial wines can assume that the potential of the grapes are good but must be reinforced with a suitable winemaking which will require further studies.

Analysis of peptide fraction from white wines

Among nitrogen compounds included in white wines, the peptide fraction is certainly the least studied, however this fraction is quantitatively the most important (Feuillat, 1974). Existing studies concern the fraction below 1 kDa and only for white and sparkling wines (Bartolomé et al, 1997, Desportes et al 2000). In this report, we have developed methods to isolate peptides from reference white wines. Then, we have applied this methodology with bitter wine to answer a research question: is there a relation between peptides and the bitterness of white wine as for some cheese for example (Furtado, 1984)?
