Il paesaggio delle alberate aversane ed il vino Asprinio

Abstract

[English version below]

Nel corso del 2009, in alcuni vigneti allevati ad alberata in provincia di Caserta (Italia), è stata avviata una ricerca per valutare la variabilità genetica della popolazione del vitigno ‘Asprinio’, la condizione sanitaria delle piante e le caratteristiche del vino sia rispetto alla forma di allevamento (alberata tradizionale e controspalliera) che all’altezza della fascia produttiva. I primi risultati indicano la totale omogeneità genetica della popolazione del vitigno ‘Asprinio’, non essendo stati ritrovati campioni vegetali riferibili a biotipi diversi. I saggi immunoenzimatici ELISA hanno rilevato la presenza di GLRaV 1, GLRaV 3 e GVA in tutti i campioni, mentre l’analisi delle molecole aromatiche delle uve e dei vini, condotta mediante analisi SPME-GC/MS, ha messo in evidenza che le uve ‘Asprinio’, prodotte sulla fascia più bassa delle alberate, presentano una maggiore potenzialità aromatica, rispetto a quelle della fascia più alta o delle controspalliere. I vini prodotti con diversi protocolli mostrano parametri enologici (grado alcolico, livelli di pH a acidità totale) simili tra di loro ed a quelli riportati da autori della metà del XX secolo.

During 2009, in some vineyards grown on trees (alberata) in the province of Caserta (Italy), a study is carried out to assess the genetic variability of the ‘Asprinio’ grapevine population, the health condition of the plants and the features of the wine in relation to the breeding system (traditional alberata vs horizontal training system) and to the heigth of fertile shoots. The first results point out the genetic identity of the ‘Aprinio’ grapevine population, because no different bio-types were found. The immunoenzymatic essays ELISA revealed that all the accessions were infected by GLRaV 1, GLRaV 3 and GVA; whereas the determination of the aromatic molecules from grapes and wines, performed by SPME- GC/MS analysis, indicated that the ‘Asprinio’ grapes, grown on lower area of the alberata, show greater aromatic potential than those from highest level of the same or those from vertical training system. The wines, produced by different procedures, show oenologycal parameters (alcohol degree, pH and total acidity level) similar to each other and to those reported by some authors of the mid-twentieth century.

Aromatic maturity is a cornerstone of terroir expression in red wine

In this video recording of the IVES science meeting 2023, Stéphanie Marchand (University of Bordeaux, ISVV, INRAE, UMR 1366 OENOLOGIE, Villenave d’Ornon, France) speaks about the aromatic maturity as a cornerstone of terroir expression in red wine. This presentation is based on an original article accessible for free on OENO One.

Fractionation of copper and iron in wine: Assessment of potential macromolecule and sulfur binding agents

Copper and iron are known to substantially impact wine stability through oxidative, reductive or colloidal phenomena. However, the binding of metal ions to different wine components under wine conditions, and the impact of this binding on the ability of the metal ions to induce spoilage processes, is not well understood. This study surveyed a range of red and white wines for an understanding of the variability of broad metal categories within the wines. The techniques utilized included an electrochemical constant current stripping potentiometry technique (ccSP), and solid phase extraction (SPE) fractionation of wine with subsequent analysis of the metal content of each fraction by inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES).
