Study of the vine performance and the wine composition of Tannat on the terroir of Colonia del Sacramento – Uruguay

Abstract

Grape-growing terroirs were defined according to the method proposed by Falcetti and Asselin (1996) near of Colonia de Sacramento, a city of Uruguay situated on the left of the “Rio de la Plata”. In a second stage, the performance of the plants of Tannat variety implanted in vineyards situated at two UTB, named “Real de Vera” and “Riachuelo”, were analyzed to confirm the suggested delimitation during three years. The studies were realized in three vineyards. The weight of the berries and the pruning weight by plant were determinated. The determination of the leaves water potential was realized after the budburst and the potential exposed leave area was determinated at the veraison. Vinifications of 50 kg of grapes per vineyards were done. The wines were analyzed, determining the classical oenological parameters and the global polyphenolic composition. The index of Ravaz, the ratio SFE p / yield and the water status by plots were determinated. The effect of the year was clearly observed on the total of the vineyards. The yields per plant, the weight of pruning, the potential foliar surface expose and the index of Ravaz presented significant differences between vineyards. The differences between the indicators of physiologic answer, the yields and the wine composition were clearly explained by the characteristics of the soil, the water status and the viticultural practices. The plants submit at stress during the maturation were the most equilibrated.

Unravelling Saccharomyces cerevisiae biosynthethic pathways of melatonin, serotonin and hydroxytyrosol  by UPLC-HRMS Isotopic labelling analysis

The main objective is to unravel the yeast biosynthetic pathways for MEL, SER and HT by using the respective labelled amino acids precursors: 15N2-L tryptophan and 13C-tyrosine.
The alcoholic fermentation experiments are performed with two different commercial
S cereviseae yeasts using synthetic must with the addition of the labelled compounds and the bioactive compounds were followed during the fermentation process. Six biological replicates of the fermentations were considered. MEL, SER and HT were analysed by UHPLC coupled to High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS). Accurate mass determination allowed to unequivocally distinguishing labelled and unlabelled compounds.

INFLUENCE OF CHITOSAN, ABSCISIC ACID AND BENZOTHIADIAZOLE TREATMENTS ON SAVVATIANO (VITIS VINIFERA L.) WINES VOLATILE COMPOSITION PROFILE

In the last decades the use of bioestimulants in viticulture have been promoted as alternative to conven- tional pesticides. Moreover, as bioestimulants promote the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in grape berries, several studies had investigated their influence on the accumulation of phenolic com- pounds (Monteiro et al., 2022). However, few studies, so far, are focused on the accumulation of the vo- latile compounds and their impact on the produced wines (Giménez-Bañón et al., 2022; Gomez- Plaza et al., 2012; Ruiz Garcia et al., 2014).
This study was conducted in a single vineyard of white autochthonous grapevine variety Savvatia- no (Vitis vinifera L.) in Muses Valley (Askri, Viotia, Greece). Chitosan (CHT), Abscisic Acid (ABA) and Benzothiadiazole (BTH) were applied.
