Relations between soil characteristics and must and wine composition in different terroirs of Emilia Romagna (Italy)

Abstract

The under-way zoning works of the Emilia viticulture have pointed out a huge variability of the features of the soils, which belong to this area. From the “Colli di Parma” to the “Colli d’Imola”, going along the hilly environment across the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena and Bologna, all over a vine area of 7.000 ha, you can find more than 30 soils, which have also been described. For a few of them, the most typical of each territory, that have the same topographic conditions as well as the same local climate and the same cultural practices, it has been possible to underline their influence on the vegetative and productive features of the local grapevine varieties, as well as on the quality of their wines. A positive and significant relation was established for the variety Sangiovese between the active limestone levels and the sensory characteristics of the wine.

Radiation-associated effects on regulated deficit irrigation management in grapevine cv. Cabernet Sauvignon

The main challenge of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) research is to isolate the factors that come with RDI, the direct effect of plant water status from the indirect ones like increased radiation and temperature changes on the cluster zone. This study aims to isolate the effects of vine water status from the effects of increased radiation on the phenolic composition of grapes subjected to RDI.
A three-year study on an RDI experiment where radiation was controlled was implemented in a commercial vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon in Chile. Four RDI treatments based on partial evapotranspiration (ET) irrigation were established. Irrigation treatments were 100% ET, 70% ET, 50-100% ET (50% ET before veraison and 100% ET afterward), and 35-100% ET (35% ET before veraison and 100% ET afterward).

The use of pulsed fluorescence detector to quantify free SO2 in wines via the headspace

Pulsed fluorescence SO2 analyzers are widely used for atmospheric monitoring. They are accurate, portable, sensitive and their price are reduced compared to advanced techniques like gas chromatography with sulfur chemiluminescence detection (GC-SCD).

Exploring non-Saccharomyces wine yeasts native from Castilla-La Mancha (Spain) to enhance bioprotection and quality of wines

The current tendency to reduce SO2 in winemaking, due to its adverse effects in sensitive individuals [1], has led to the development of new techniques to mitigate SO2 absence and to exert the same antimicrobial and antioxidant effects.
