Salubrity of environment and zoning process: first consideration on the radioactivity of vineyard soils

Abstract

La salubrité du milieu et des aliments intervient de plus en plus lourdement, et souvent négativement, sur la santé de l’homme, aussi bien sur l’individu que sur la société tout entière.
La nécessité, désormais vitale, de trouver des solutions valables à ce grave, problème, sollicite des recherches de plus en plus importantes dans le but de connaître les interactions entre ces variables si complexes.
Dans le secteur vitivinicole, les auteurs avaient déjà fait précédemment des recherches et des communications (OIV, 2001) sur la concentration de la radioactivité dans la chaîne terroir­vigne-raisin-vin, pour un terroir volcanique de la zone des « Castelli Romani» dans le Latium. Ils ont pu déterminer une baisse de la concentration radioactive d’environ 10 fois entre terroir et vigne, et de 100 fois entre terroir et vin.
Nous approfondissons dans ce travail ces recherches élargies aussi à un terroir de type « alluvial », en tentant de faire certaines interprétations en fonction de la physiologie de la vigne (plante pérenne) et de la fermentation de son produit.
Les données obtenues sur certains aliments végétaux à cycle annuel produits sur ces mêmes terroirs, élargissent le cadre des considérations et des hypothèses de travail.

The salubrity of environment and food in the relationship, with a bigger importance in agricultural production, has in the most cases negative sign on the human healthy. According this the salubrity has also a social aspect.
Today exist the high necessity for scientific research and solution for resolve the problem of salubrity, according all factors, which have the importance in the environment.
The authors have published in the previously works (OIV 2001 ), the problem of radioactivity in sequence vineyard soil-vine-grape-wine of specific vineyards soils of “Castelli Romani”, Lazio, vine zone of central Italy. This soil has a volcanic origin. Conceming radioactivity the results showed that the soil / vine ratio was 10 and the soil / wine ratio was 100.
In this research, as a continues of previously research, the observation was done on the one alluvial soil with relationship between radioactivity and physiology process in the vine plant and influence to must fermentation.
The obtained results with the others plant with annual cycle, in the same soils confirm the hypothesis about influence of soil radioactivity to salubrity.

Relevance of the polyphenolic profile during oxidative aging in the accumulation and disappearance of oxidative and varietal aromas

The main objective of this work is to study and model the impact of the polyphenolic profile on the stability and quality of wine aroma during oxidative aging.

Changes in red wine composition during bottle aging: impacts of viticultural conditions and oxygen availability

Bottle ageing is considered essential for most premium red wine production. An important aim of bottle ageing of wine is to achieve a balance between the oxidative and reductive development. This is typically evaluated by the accumulation of aldehyde compounds (causing oxidative off-flavour) and sulfur-containing compounds (causing reductive off-flavour) in the wine [1]

Environmental influence on grape phenolic and aromatic compounds in a Nebbiolo selection (Vitis vinifera L.)

Nebbiolo (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most important wine red cultivar of North-west Italy. A better understanding of the complex relations among grape aromatic and phenolic maturity and environmental factors may strongly contribute to the improvement of the quality of Nebbiolo wines.
