La variabilità del colore in vini rosati dell’Italia meridionale

Abstract

[English version below]

Nei vini rosati, è il colore ad avere il primo impatto con il consumatore. Esso risulterà tanto più accattivante, quanto più elegante e raffinato si presenta.
Le caratteristiche cromatiche dei vini rosati si evidenziano attraverso un tenue colore rosa, a cui spesso si accompagnano riflessi viola o aranciati.
Gli antociani ed il pH sono i principali parametri del colore dei vini rossi e rosati, per cui sono stati considerati nella presente ricerca.
Gli antociani, in particolar modo, sono stati considerati nella qualità, quantità e nello stato di monomeri o combinati in cui si trovano nelle materie prime (uve), nei vini ed in alcuni di essi le evoluzioni ai quali vanno incontro durante lo stoccaggio a differenti temperature.
Con il presente lavoro, si è voluto dare un contributo di studio alle caratteristiche cromatiche dei più diffusi vini rosati che attualmente sono prodotti in alcuni territori dell’Italia meridionale, discuterle in base a come sono concepite dal vinificatore e come le gradirebbe il consumatore.

]]Colour is the first thing consumers notice in rosé wines. The more elegant it is, the more appealing the wine will be. Rosé wines are a soft shade of pink, often tinged with delicate hues of purple or orange. Anthocyanins and pH are the main determiners of colour and are therefore discussed in this paper, focussing in detail on the quality and quantity of the anthocyanins and whether they occur as monomers or polymers in the grapes and the wines. The evolution some anthocyanins undergo during storage at a range of temperatures has also been studied.

The paper aims to broaden knowledge on the chromatic characteristics of the more common rosé wines currently produced in southern Italy and discuss how the producers perceive their wines and how consumers would like them to be.

Characterization of the mechanisms underlying the tolerance of genotypes of Uva Cão to climate change: A transcriptomic and genomic study

Climate change has been influencing viticulture and changing wine profiles in the past years, and effects are expected to get worse.

Potential of new genetic resources to improve drought adaptation of grapevine rootstocks

Grapevines are grown mainly as grafts worldwide, but the rootstocks most commonly used were selected between the late 19th and early 20th centuries and are based on reduced genetic diversity[1]. In the context of climate change, it is indeed urgent to diversify the range of rootstocks with genotypes much more adapted to drier environments, than the existing ones[2]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of new genetic resources for grapevine rootstock breeding programs. For this purpose, 12 American and Asian wild Vitis species (3 to 5 accessions per species = 50 accessions) were evaluated for their rooting ability and drought response.

Epigenetics: an innovative lever for grapevine breeding in times of climate changes

Climate change results in erratic weather conditions, which may lead for many crops including grapevine, to a reduced production and products of lower quality. Concerning grapevine, climate change results in shorter growing seasons and dates for budbreak, flowering and fruit maturity occur earlier in many regions. It also leads to an increase of various pests and diseases, as well as the vectors responsible for disease distribution.

How much does the soil, climate and viticultural practices contribute to the variability of the terroir expression?

When considering the application of a systemic approach to assess the intrinsic complexity of agricultural production, the following question immediately arises

Effect of soil particle size on vine water status, leaf ABA content and berry quality in Nebbiolo grapes

The root and shoot abscisic acid (ABA) accumulation in response to water deficit and its relation with stomatal conductance is longtime known in grapevine. ABA-dependent and ABA-independent signalling response to osmotic stress coexist in sessile plants. In grapevine, the signaling role of ABA in response to water stress conditions and its influence on berry quality is critical to manage grapevine acclimation to climate change.
