Il Soave: esempio di cultura e di scienza

Abstract

[English version below]

L’evoluzione del settore viti-enologico, supportato dalla ricerca ci propone sempre più frequentemente vini unici e inconfondibili. Il merito di ciò è da ricercare nel rapporto vitigno-territorio e dalla ormai scrupolosa ricerca di varietà più adatte per i diversi ambienti pedoclimatici. Lo studio in esame, iniziato nel 1995, è stato eseguito nell’area DOC Soave, denominazione di origine controllata tra le più significative del Veneto. La zonazione prima, la ricerca dei cru e del paesaggio poi, hanno avuto come scopo principale di salvaguardare, tutelare e proporre l’immagine del territorio ancorando ad esso i suoi vini. Ciò ha consentito di comunicare il panorama completo da cui nasce un vino, affinché vino e territorio siano valorizzati. Accanto all’esame degli aspetti storici, climatici, colturali e qualitativi, nello studio del Soave due sono gli elementi cui si è dato maggior rilievo, il suolo e la microstruttura dell’acino. In base ai caratteri climatici, podologici, orografici e storici, l’areale DOC e DOCG Soave è stato suddiviso in 14 sottozone. Nella prima fase di studio sono stati individuati 55 vigneti campione, mentre nello studio dei vari cru l’indagine è stata eseguita su 16 vigneti rappresentativi di altrettante realtà produttive storicamente ritenute i punti di riferimento della produzione Soave.

The progress of the wine-growing and enological sector, backed by research, more and more frequently gives us unique and unmistakable wines. The merit of this is in the relationship between the grape variety and the territory; and in the scrupulous research of more suitable varieties for environments with different pedoclimatic conditions. The study was begun in 1995 and was carried out in the “Soave” DOC area, one of the most significant controlled denomination of origin areas in the Veneto region. The aim of the zonation and the cru characterization are to safeguard and promote the image of the territory and to link the wines to the territory. It allows us to give a complete panorama of the territory which gives rise to these wins, their uniqueness, wholesomeness and naturalness, so that the wines and the territory increase in value. Alongside the study of history, climate, cultivation and quality, in the Soave study there are two aspects which are given prominence: the soil and the macrostructure of the berries. The Soave DOC and DOCG area was divided into 14 subzones on the basis of climate, pedological, orographical and historical features. In the 1st step were study 55 vineyard of Garganega, while in the cru studys were analyzed 14 vineyard that represent the historical standard of quality of the production o Soave.

Development of a new method for detecting acetic acid bacteria in wine

The presence of acetic acid bacteria in wine can lead to the appearance of acetic acid at concentrations above the perception threshold, causing the wine rejection by the consumer. During the winemaking process, avoiding the presence of acetic acid bacteria is very difficult, as there is always a residual population accompanying the wine[1], and the problem arises with the significant development of these microorganisms that metabolizes large amounts of acetic acid.
The concern of wineries to control the presence of acetic acid bacteria in wines during their conservation is due to the absence of simple and effective analyses that allow the detection of these microorganisms in the initial stages.

Assessing the feasibility of direct injection for pesticide residue analysis in grape juice by liquid chromatography/triple quadrupole mass spectrometry

In Brazil, the regulation of pesticide residues is guided by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA), emphasizing the importance of monitoring pesticide levels in agricultural products to protect consumer health.

HOW TO EVALUATE THE QUALITY OF NATURAL WINES?

The movement of Natural wines has clearly increased in the last few years, to reach a high demand from consumers nowadays. Switzerland has not been left out of this movement and has created a dedicated association in 2021. This association has the ambition to develop a specific tasting sheet for natural wines. The study of the tasting notes shows that the olfactory description of wines is recent but predominant today. But wine is a product makes to be drunk and not (just) to smell it. Based on these findings, a new 100-point tasting sheet has been developed. The main characteristics are 1) an evaluation in the mouth before the description of the olfaction, 2) to give 50% of the points on the judgment for the mouth characteristics, 3) to pejorate the visual aspects only if the wine is judged as “not drinkable” and 4) to express personal emotions.

Determining the impact of thiophenols on ashy flavor recognition in smoke-affected wines

Abstract
Wildfires are an increasing concern for wine-producing regions worldwide, as they generate smoke containing volatile organic compounds that can be transported over long distances and can be absorbed by wine grapes [1].
