Zoning influence in chromatic parameters in Monastrell grape

Abstract

Zoning analysis determine homogeneous areas principally from the point of view of the medium, giving as a result a map which cartographic units synthesize the relations between the edaphic factors; morphological factors of the soil and climatic factors. The combination of these types of parameters allows to obtain maps of suitability of the optimum areas for the crop of the vineyard. At present it has been delimited and characterized eight grape areas belonging to the D.O. Jumilla. The chosen plots has been: Varahonda, Cañada del Judío, Cañada de Albatana, El Carche, Rubializas, Agüeros, Cortijo del Agrio and Casa Vistalegre. 
The determined parameters are: Phenological parameters: Dates of sprouting, flowering, veraison, and harvest. Chemical parameters during maturation: total phenolic compounds, anthocyanins to pH 1 (extractable anthoc.) and anthocyanins to pH 3 (Total anthoc.), seed ripeness (MP) and index of cellular ripeness (IMC). 
As for the determination of chromatic parameters and of extractability, in the plot of Cortijo del agrio the biggest quantity of anthocyanins has been obtained on having finished the period of ripening, on the other hand the plot of Cañada del Judio is the one that has obtained the highest values of extractable polyphenols. In our study, for the IMC lower value has been obtained for the plot located in Cañada del Judio and the highest value for the plot of Cortijo del agrio. As for seed ripeness Rubializas and Cortijo del agrio are the plots that obtained the lowest values.

La valorisation des Terroirs Viticoles par les Indications géographiques et les appellations d’origine

Le sujet proposé dans le thème “l’environnement juridique” est plus économique que juridique, et constitue une sorte de complément au sujet qui l’a précédé : analyse des marchés, stratégies commerciales et terroirs”.

Dormancy conundrum: thermal requirements plasticity to reach budburst may be explained by annual environmental dynamics

Deciphering grapevine dormancy is crucial in the current context of climatic challenges: advancing budburst phenology and increased late frost probabilities, observed in the last decades and expected to further increase, require deeper understanding. Beyond higher mean temperatures, abiotic stresses such as water deficit have also been emphasized as actors. In this framework, we aimed at exploring new methodologies for tracking dormancy cycle and testing the interplay on its regulation of temperature dynamics and drought.
In a first experiment, twenty-one Vitis vinifera varieties were monitored during ecodormancy and budburst over three years.

Influence of irrigation frequency on berry phenolic composition of red grape varieties cultivated in four spanish wine-growing regions

The global warming phenomenon involves the frequency of extreme meteorological events accompanied by a change in rainfall distribution. Irrigation frequency (IF) affects the spatial and temporal soil water distribution but its effects on the phenolic composition of the grape have been scarcely studied. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of four deficit irrigation frequencies of 30 % ETo: one irrigation per day (T01), two irrigations per week (T03), one irrigation per week (T07) and one irrigation every two weeks (T15) on berry phenolic composition at harvest.

Effect of elicitors and ripening moment on the phenolic composition of Monastrell

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a globally cultivated crop and economically significant, particularly in the wine industry (Varela et al., 2024). Climate change is already affecting vineyards and is expected to worsen (Averbeck et al., 2019; Dupuis and Knoepfel, 2011).

PHOTO OXIDATION OF LUGANA WINES: INFLUENCE OF YEASTS AND RESIDUAL NITROGEN ON VSCS PROFILE

Lugana wines are made from Turbiana grapes. In recent times, many white and rosé wines are bottled and stored in flint glass bottles because of commercial appeal. However, this practice could worsen the aroma profile of the wine, especially as regards the development of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). This study aims to investigate the consequences of exposure to light in flint bottles on VSCs profile of Lugana wines fermented with two different yeasts and with different post-fermentation residual nitrogen.
