Phenolic characterization of four different red varieties with “Caíño” denomination cultivated in Northwestern Spain

Abstract

In this work, these four red varieties were characterized in terms of phenolic composition. Thus, the anthocyanin accumulation and the extractability evolution during ripening were compared. The extractability assays were carried out using similar pH conditions than those involved in winemaking process. Furthermore, seed phenolic maturity was determined in order to obtain information about the tannin aggressiveness. These parameters are of great importance not only for the varietal differentiation but also for the planning and management of winemaking process. On the other hand, the anthocyanin distribution was determined because it permits the assessment of varietal differentiation, being it considered as a taxonomic characteristic.
Total anthocyanin concentration was significantly greater for Caíño Longo variety, while extractable anthocyanin content for this variety was similar than that corresponding to Caíño Astureses variety. Furthermore, the lowest total and extractable anthocyanin concentrations were associated with Caíño Redondo and Caíño da Terra cultivars. Thus, the extraction facility showed good skin ripeness grade only for Caíño Astureses variety. Furthermore, the seed ripeness resulted to be particularly incomplete for Caíño Astureses and Caíño Redondo varieties, which indicates their worse adaptation to the “terroir”. Malvidin glucoside was the majority anthocyanin in all the varieties studied, excepting the Caíño da Terra variety. The Caíño Longo cultivar showed results statistically higher, while the Caíño da Terra cultivar presented the lowest values of this compound.

Grape development revisited through the single-berry metabolomic clock paradigm

Although the ripening process of grapevine berries is well-documented at the vineyard level, pinpointing distinct developmental stages remains challenging. The asynchronous development of berries results in dynamic biases and metabolic chimerism. It is thus crucial to consider individual berries separately and resynchronize their internal clock for deciphering physiological changes throughout development. Given the importance of grape composition in wine quality, we aimed at measuring developmental changes in the metabolome of Syrah single berries from anthesis to over-ripening, without a priori preconceived.

Ampelograpic and genetic characterisation of grapevine genetic resources from Ozalj-Vivodina region (Croatia)

Ozalj- vivodina region is small vine growing area (only about 100 hectares of vineyards), but with significant number of old, ancient vineyards planted between 50 and 100 years ago. Trend of abandoning or replanting ancient vineyards takes place for the last 30 years. This trend results in grapevine germplasm erosion because traditional varieties are replaced with well known international varieties.Few known traditional varieties are dominantly present in ancient vineyards together with many others of unknown identity. Historical data about prevalence and characteristic of varieties on this area are very poor.
