Vine growing description of Aeolian archipelago

Abstract

An agroclimatic description of Aeolian archipelago viticulture area (Me), Italy is presented. Aeolian archipelago is located off the northeastern coast of Sicily and it includes the islands of Alicudi, Filicudi, Salina, Panarea, Lipari, Stromboli and Vulcano. At present vine growing in this area accounts for about 160.0 ha, 96.0 of which at cv Malvasia di Lipari; the remaining 64.0 ha are dedicated to other varieties. The appellation Malvasia delle Lipari DOC includes sweet aromatic white wines, raisin wines and fortified wines from Malvasia di Lipari and Corinto Nero varieties. The appellation IGT Salina produces white, red, and rosé wines as well as monovarietal wines with the indication of the specific variety (Malvasia di Lipari, Catarratto bianco, Nerello mascalese, Ansonica, Nero d’Avola, Corinto nero, etc.).
The agroclimatic analysis concerned rainfalls, temperatures, vine specific bioclimatic indexes (Winkler, Huglin, Branas and Fregoni), ET0, and hydro-cultural consumptions. The agrometeorological data were provided by Sicilian Agrometeorological Information Service (SIAS) and by Regional Hydrographical Service (SI). The study allowed achieving an agroclimatic description of Aeolian archipelago, which is functional to the improvement of traceability and any kind of further study for territorial programming, as well as the evaluation of territorial aptitudes.

BORDEAUX RED WINES WITHOUT ADDED SULFITES SPECIFICITIES: COMPOSITIONAL AND SENSORY APPROACHES TOWARDS HIGHLIGHTING AND EXPLAI-NING THEIR SPECIFIC FRUITINESS AND COOLNESS

With the development of naturality expectations, wines produced without any addition of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) become very popular for consumers and such wines are increasingly present on the market. Recent studies also showed that Bordeaux red wines without added SO₂ could be differentiated from a sensory point of view from similar wines produced with SO₂¹. Thus, the aim of the current study was to characterize from a sensory point of view, specific aromas of wines without added SO₂ and to identify compounds involved.

Fractal analysis as a tool for delimiting guarantee of quality areas

The pioneering work of Mandelbrot in the 70’s for building the fractal theory lead rapidly to many interesting applications in different fields such as earth sciences and economy.

Electrochemical diversity of italian white wines

Analysis of phenolic compounds typically involve spectrophotometric methods as well as liquid chromatography combined with DAD, fluorimetric, or MS detection. However, the complexity of wine phenolic composition generated, in recent years, attention towards other analytical approaches, including those allowing rapid and inexpensive operations. Voltametric AIM Oxidation of white wine phenolics occurs at different stages during winemaking and storage and can have important implications for wine sensory quality. Phenolic compounds, in particular those with a ortho-diphenol moiety, are main target of oxidation in wine. Strategies for the methods are particularly suited for the analysis of oxidizable compounds such as phenolics. The redox-active species can be oxidized and reduced at the electrode, therefore, applications of electrochemistry have been developed both to quantify such species, and to probe wine maturation processes.3 The project on the diversity of Italian wines aims at collecting and analysing large-scale compositional dataset related to Italian white wines.

Can minimal pruning be a strategy to adapt grape ripening to global warming?

Berry maturation in warm areas takes place very early, when temperatures are still high and favorable for carbohydrate synthesis and accumulation in the berries, but not as favorable for maintaining high titratable acidity or low pH, or for increasing berry polyphenol content. Different canopy management techniques have been proven to delay berry maturation at the expense of yield (severe canopy trimming, late spring pruning to induce sprouting of dormant buds, etc.). Minimal pruning delays berry ripening by highly increasing yield and by reducing the leaf area to fruit ratio.
