Influence of the irrigation period in Tempranillo grapevine, under the edaphoclimatic conditions of the Duero river valley

Abstract

Irrigation of vineyards is a matter of controversial arguments at areas of high quality wine production. Besides, the effects of the water in the plant are closer related to the water availability than to the irrigation regime. In this way, the criteria for irrigation timing can reach very important physiologic and productive consequences to optimize the vineyard management on each environmental situation. An experimental trial has been carried out along the period 2005-2007 in the province of Valladolid (Spain), focused on the study of modification of plant water status (leaf water potential), soil water content, physiologic activity, vegetative-productive behavior and quality expression (berry weight, sugar concentration, pH, total acidity, poliphenols concentration) of the Tempranillo variety in the Duero river valley, through the application of a moderate irrigation doses in two different periods of the vegetative cycle, on a concrete edaphic situation. The treatments applied were the following: 20% ETo from vegetative Growth stopping (G20) and 20% ETo from Veraison (V20), both irrigated until one week before harvest. The vines, planted in 1993, were grafted onto 110R and vertical trellised trained, as a bilateral Royat cordon. Vine spacing is 2.70 m x 1.40 m (2645 vines/ha).
The results have shown some differences due to the irrigation period treatments on the effects related to vine water status and soil water content, physiologic activity, vegetative development, productivity and grape quality in Tempranillo variety. In general, the earlier application of irrigation has favoured vine physiologic activity and leaf development, through the improvement of plant water status, estimated by means of leaf water potential measurement, which have consequently provoked certain increase of yield. On the contrary, the delay of irrigation until veraison stage has shown certain tendency in grape composition to increase sugar concentration, pH and poliphenols index.

Application of high-throughput sequencing tools for characterisation of microbial communities during alcoholic fermentation

Developments in high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies allow us to obtain large amounts of microbial information from wine and must samples. Thus approaches, that are aimed at characterising the microbial diversity during fermentation, can be enhanced, or possibly even replaced, with HTS-based metabarcoding. To reduce experimental biases and increase data reproducibility, we compared 3 DNA extraction methods by evaluating differences in the fungal diversity with Riesling alcoholic fermentation samples at four different vineyards. The fungal diversity profiling was done using the genetic markers ITS2 and D2 using metabarcoding. The extraction methods compared consisted of a commercial kit, a recently published protocol that includes a DNA enhancer, and a protocol based on a buffer containing common inhibitor removal reagents. All methods were able to distinguish vineyard effects on the fungal diversity, but the results differed quantitatively.

1H-NMR-based Untargeted Metabolomics to assess the impact of soil type on the chemical composition of Mediterranean red wines

Untargeted metabolomics has proven to be an effective method to study the impact of the terroir on metabolic profile of wines. In this context, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different soil types on the chemical composition of Mediterranean red wines, through 1H-NMR metabolomics combined with chemometrics.Grapes from Nero d’Avola L. red cultivar cultivated on four different soil types were separately vinified to obtain four different red wines.One milliliter of raw wine was analyzed by means of a Bruker Avance II 400 spectrometer operating at 400.15 MHz

In questa nota viene analizzata l’importanza della conoscenza del territorio nel funzionamento del mercato dei prodotti alimentari di qualità e nella gestione delle denominazioni di origine.
La denominazione di origine si sta affermando in tutti i mercati alimentari, dopo l’esperienza secolare maturata nel mercato del vino. Iniziative nel campo del turismo, delle produzioni ecologiche, della promozione dello sviluppo, sono collegate alla dimensione territoriale, in risposta ad un generale orientamento della domanda.
