Investigation on harvesting period choices for correct interpretation of experimental results

Abstract

Happens too often in scientific papers to find the same harvesting period of a cultivar, although the used treatment influence a maturity curve of investigated thesis.
This inevitably leads to wrong conclusions when comparing the treatment effects, since obtained on maturity stages more or less far from those technologically correct.
The present paper has the aim to enhance the sensibility of our environment, and not only, this fundamental aspect in the framework of a larger project, has the aim to enhance various aspects of “quality” (for example organoleptic, economic, social and existential) and of its “economies” (Cargnello G. (1996): La qualite economique, l’economie de la qualite et la qualite economique des preferences: differentes considerations. Compte-rendu n° 9 GESCO, Budapest (Hongrie), 21 -23 Août, pp.379-384.). It was conducted on cv. Prosecco in “Terra della Valle del Piave” in collaboration with respected Casa vitivinicola Carpenè – Malvolti di Conegliano.
Particularly, the research about short cut (Spur Pruned Cordon of Conegliano) and long (precisely of training form “Prosecco Alta Marca”), showed that production of the last one is penalised if harvesting time is judged on thesis of Pruned Cordon, and inversely, in function of product typology we want to obtain and of enterprise objectives we want to achieve.

Enological technics to enhance the aromatic qualities of white spirits 

Eugenol has been identified as a quality marker in armagnac white spirits. In particular, those produced from the Baco blanc variety, the only hybrid variety authorised in a French PDO, bred since 1898 from noah (vitis labrusca x v.riparia) and folle blanche (v. Vinifera). The varietal compound of Baco blanc, eugenol has many original properties.

Contribution of seeds to red wine phenolic composition

Tannin composition is an important attribute in red wine quality, and it is therefore critical to understand the factors influencing tannin extraction during alcoholic fermentation. Tannins contribute to the mouthfeel of wines, but they also form pigmented polymers...

How pressing techniques affect must composition and wine quality of Pinot blanc

This study investigates how the sensory profile of Pinot Blanc is affected from different maceration and pressing techniques. Grapes were sourced from four vineyards in the village Tramin in South Tyrol. For the experiment 200 kg of grapes from each vineyard site were hand picked the day before harvest for the commercial winery took place. Grapes were stored over night at 4°C, homogenized and processed in the experimental winery at Laimburg research centre the day after harvest. Four different pressing techniques were applied in duplicates of 100kg each.
