Efectos del deshojado y de su combinación con el aclareo de Racimos en los componentes básicos de la producción y del Mosto, sobre cv. Tempranillo en la D.O. Ribera del Duero

Abstract

[English version below]

Las técnicas de manejo del canopy de la vid pueden favorecer la adaptación de los sistemas de conducción a diversas condiciones de cultivo para obtener uva de calidad. Con este objetivo se desarrolló a lo largo de 3 años un ensayo en secano con la variedad Tempranillo conducida en espaldera, en la región vitivinícola de Denominación de Origen Ribera del Duero (España).
Se estudiaron los efectos del deshojado basal (aplicado en la fase de maduración, una vez pasado el envero), suprimiendo unas 4 hojas de la base de los pámpanos, y de su combinación con el aclareo de racimos (suprimiendo el 35 % de los racimos existentes en la cepa en el momento del envero) en el rendimiento, en el desarrollo vegetativo y en la composición del mosto.
Se ha observado que la combinación del aclareo con el deshojado redujo el rendimiento final en uva sólo un 20%, debido a la compensación producida por el aumento del peso de la baya. Dicho tratamiento presentó una tendencia a incrementar ligeramente el peso de madera de poda.
La concentración de azúcares en el mosto puede verse beneficiada por el deshojado basal, pero su combinación con el aclareo de racimos mostró un efecto muy claro a aumentar el grado alcohólico probable del mosto. La acidez total puede ser reducida por el deshojado, pero sobre todo cuando se practica junto con el aclareo de racimos.
En general, los efectos del aclareo de racimos en el envero combinado con el deshojado favorecen la evolución de la maduración, a costa de una reducción del rendimiento en uva, mientras que los efectos del deshojado simple en la variedad Tempranillo, a través de una reducción de los ácidos, dependen de las condiciones ambientales anuales en zonas como la D.O. Ribera del Duero.

The techniques of grapevine canopy management can help the training systems to become adapted to different growth conditions in order to improve the quality of the grapes. Focused on this objective, a trial was carried out over 3 years in the A.O. Ribera del Duero with the variety Tempranillo grown under non-irrigation conditions and trained as a vertical trellis system.
We have studied the effects of the basal leaf removal (in the ripening period, after veraison), taking out 4 leaves from the base of shoots, and of its combination with the cluster thinning (removing 35 %of vine clusters at veraison) in yield, vegetative development and must composition.
It was observed that the combination of cluster thinning and leaf removal reduced the final yield by only 20 %, due to the compensation caused by the increase of berry weight. This treatment showed a tendency to lightly increase the pruning weight.
Sugar concentration can be increased by the basal leaf removal, but the combination with the cluster thinning exhibited a clear effect to increase the probable alcoholic degree. Total acidity can be reduced by leaf removal, but basically in combination with cluster thinning.

Effects of heat and water stress on grapevine health: primary and secondary metabolism

Grapevine resilience to climate change has become one of the most pressing topics in the Viticulture & Enology field. Vineyard health demands understanding the mechanisms that explain the direct and indirect interactions between environmental stressors. The current climate change scenario, where drought and heat-wave are more frequent and intense, strongly demands improving our knowledge of environmental stresses. During a heatwave, the ambient temperature rises above the plant’s average tolerance threshold and, generally, above 35 oC plant’s adaptation to heat stress is activated.

Using Landsat LST data to predict vineyard productivity anomalies: A case study in the Euganean Hills wine region, Italy

In the current scenario of climatic variability, even though the vine (Vitis vinifera) is a species generally considered very fertile, the process of bud differentiation is particularly influenced by the weather trend not only of the current year but also of the previous one.

Riesling as a model to irrigate white wine grape varieties in arid climates

Regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) is a common viticultural practice for wine grape production. In addition to the potential improvement of water use efficiency, the adoption of this technique favors smaller canopies with higher levels of fruit sun exposure, enhancing quality attributes associated with red wine grapes such as smaller berries with higher tannins and anthocyanins. However, these quality attributes do not necessarily transfer to white wine grapes. The goal of this project was to assess whether partial rootzone drying (PRD) is more suited than RDI to grow high-end white wine grapes in arid climates, especially aromatic varieties, using Riesling as a model.

Red wine substituted esters involved in fruity aromatic expression: an enantiomeric approach to understand their sensory impact and their pathway formation

Among red wines ethyl esters, those from short hydroxylated and branched-chain aliphatic acids constitute a family with a particular behavior and sensory importance. They have been previously discussed in the literature [1] and recent studies have established that some of them were strongly involved in of red wines’ fruity aroma [2]. As some among them have an asymmetrical carbon atom, it seemed important to separate their different enantiomers to obtain an accurate assessment of their organoleptic impact. Three chiral esters have been identified, presenting alkyl and/or hydroxyle substituants: ethyl 2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate, ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, and ethyl 3-hydroxybutanoate.
