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.

Etude préliminaire des influences pédoclimatiques sur les caractéristiques quali-quantitatives du cépage aglianico dans une zone de la province de benevento-ltalie

The need to classify the vineyards of an area according to the quality of its wines is not recent, but it is only in the last ten years that studies on the suitability of different areas for the cultivation of vineyard take on an integrated and interdisciplinary character (Boselli, 1991). The definition of the suitability of the environment is thus obtained by making the climatic, pedological, topographical and cultural information interact with the vegetative, productive and qualitative expression of the grape varieties.

Optimised extraction and preliminary characterisation of mannoproteins from non-Saccharomyces wine yeasts

The use of non-Saccharomyces yeast species for the improvement of wine technological and oenological properties is a topic that has gained much interest in recent years [1]. Their application as co-starter cultures sequential to the inoculation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in aging on the lees has been shown to improve aspects such as protein stability and mouthfeel [2].

Proposta per un parco produttivo agrovitivinicolo dei “colli piacentini”

Le Dipartimento di Progettazione dell ‘Architettura del Politecnico di Milano et l’Istituto di Viticoltura della Facoltà d’Agraria di Piacenza dell’Università Cattolica del Sacra Cuore, ont elaboré une proposition pour réaliser, dans l’aire de colline de la province de Piacenza, un Parco Produttivo Agrovitivinicolo.

Activation of retrotransposition in grapevine

Retrotransposons, particularly of the Ty-Copia and Ty-Gypsy superfamilies, represent the most abundant and widespread transposons in many plant genomes. Grapevine is no exception and it is clear that these mobile elements have played a major role in the evolution of Vitaceae genomes. While speculation abounds around the possible role of transposons in plant genomes, outside of the rather obvious involvement of retrotransposition in fueling genome expansion, there is little clarity of the actual role these elements have in both developing new genetic variation and in modulating epigenetic responses within genomes to changing climate. To this end we have been exploring de-novo assembled Sauvignon blanc and Pinot noir genomes with a view to catalogue retrotransposon loci to determine the structural intactness and thus age of insertion variation across a small number of clonal linages of these 2 varietals in an attempt to identify ‘live’ TE loci.

Health space in vine spa in the world

This elaboration presents vine spa has precious contribution of social development health and well being in culture of wine regions. The majority of the vine-spas in the world draw raw materials from the vineyard; both for cosmetics treatments and for dishes in their restaurants. Vitis vinifera vine provides fresh grapes for dishes and massages, seeds and oil from the seeds, as well as the leaves, and its extracts, and above all the wine.
