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.

The impacts of frozen material-other-than-grapes (MOG) on aroma compounds of red wine varieties

An undesirable note called “floral taint” has been observed in red wines by winemakers in the Niagara region caused by large volumes of frozen leaves and petioles [materials-other-than-grapes (MOG)] introduced during mechanical harvest and subsequent winemaking late in the season. The volatiles, which we hypothesized are responsible, are primarily terpenes, norisoprenoids, and specific esters in frozen leaves and petioles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the volatile compounds which may cause the floral taint problem and explore how much of them (thresholds) may lead to the problem. Also, the glycosidic precursors of some of these compounds were analyzed to see the changes happening during frost events.

Aromatic profile of six different clones of Chardonnay grape berries in Minas Gerais (Brazil)

Aromas are one of the key points in food analysis since they are related to character, quality and consequently consumer acceptance. It is not different in the winery industry, where the aromatic profile is a combination of viticultural and oenological practices. Based on the development of more aromatic clones and on the potential to produce sparkling wines at Caldas, in the southern region of Minas Gerais (Brazil) (21°55´S and 46°23´W, altitude 1,100m), the aim of this work was the determination of volatile compounds in six different clones of Chardonnay grape berries to better understand which compounds add bouquet to the wine, and additionally comprehend the impacts of the edaphoclimatic and annual conditions on the improvement of grape-growing and winemaking practices.

Improving stilbenes in vitis Labrusca L. Grapes through methyl jasmonate applications

Grapes (Vitis sp.) are considered a major source of phenolic compounds such as flavonols, anthocyanins and stilbenes. Studies related to the beneficial effects of these compounds on health have encouraged research aimed at increasing their concentration in fruits. On this behalf, several plant growth regulators such as jasmonic acid and its volatile ester, methyl-jasmonate (MeJa), have demonstrated promising results in many fruits. However, Brazilian subtropical climate might interfere on treatment response. The present study aims to evaluate the application of MeJa in the pre-harvest period in Concord and Isabel Precoce grapes (Vitis labrusca L.).

Service crop effects on grapevine water and nitrogen status and yield under Mediterranean climate

Service crops in vineyard can provide multiple ecosystem services but they can also lead to competition with the grapevine for soil resources in the Mediterranean region due to potential severe droughts (Garcia et al., 2018). One of the levers of action to manage this competition is the choice of species adapted in terms of growth dynamics and water and nutrients’ needs. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of temporary service crops on grapevine water and nitrogen status and grapevine yield and yield components in a Mediterranean vineyard.

Impact of deficit irrigation strategies on terpene concentration in Gewürztraminer grapes

Deficit irrigation is a viticultural practice often applied to improve the phenolic composition of red grapes and wines. However, the impact of this practice on grape terpenes – key aromatics for several grapes and wines – remains largely unknown. This study investigated the impact of deficit irrigation strategies on free and glycosylated terpenes in Gewürztraminer grapes. In a field study conducted in Oliver, BC, in 2016, 2017, and 2018, deficit irrigation regimes were applied to Gewürztraminer vines at different developmental stages (pre-veraison = Early Deficit, ED; post-veraison = Late Deficit, LD; throughout the season = Prolonged Deficit, PD). A well-irrigated control (CN) treatment was also established.
