Viticultural characterisation of soils from triassic period at Beaumes-de-Venise (Côtes du Rhône, France)

The extraction of proteins from grape seeds represents a promising strategy to revalorize wine industry by-products. As a natural endogenous fining agent, grape seed protein (GSE) offers an effective solution for wine clarification [1] without requiring label declaration.

Bud fruitfulness is a key determinant of the potential and the actual yield. The formation of the grapevine yield spans over a period of two consecutive growing seasons (Ferrara & Mazzeo, 2023).

This study investigates how different pressing techniques impact on the sensory profile of Pinot Blanc wines sourced from different terroirs.

Context description and research question: an increasing number of farmers are considering the impact of conservation practices on soil health to guide sustainable management of vineyards. Understanding impacts of soil management on soil organic carbon (SOC) is one lever for adoption of agroecological practice with potential to help maintain or improve soil health while building SOC stocks to mitigate climate change (Amelung et al., 2020).

It is widely known the impact that oxidation has on wine sensory degradation and eventually, in the shortening of its longevity.
