Uve e vini in vulcaniti basiche anorogeniche dei lessini meridionali, impronta petrochimica e assimilazione di metalli pesanti

Abstract

[English version below]

Nel 2009 sono stati prelevati e analizzati mediante XRF (X-ray fluorescence) campioni di suolo, in vigneti sperimentali siti nelle province di Vicenza e di Ancona. Sono stati inoltre determinati in 2 campioni di mosto e 2 di vino delle varietà Verdicchio e Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, ed in 2 di uva Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, gli elementi in traccia mediante ICP-MS (Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry). Lo studio ha consentito di definire la qualità di uva e vini, i rapporti caratteristici per ogni tipologia di suolo, e caratterizzare l’impronta geochimica in un ampio areale in cui le modeste differenze climatiche non influiscono sulle dinamiche di assimilazione. Sono state definite le relazioni fra matrice suolo e vino attraverso il confronto fra le concentrazioni dei metalli analizzati nelle varie matrici e varietà di uva.

In 2009, 18 samples of soils, coming from experimental vineyards in Vicenza and Ancona, were collected and analysed using XRF technique, to characterize major and minor element concentration. Moreover, 2 samples of must, 2 samples of wine (one of each varieties Verdicchio and Refosco dal peduncolo rosso) and 2 samples of grapes Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, were investigated using ICP-MS (Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry) technique in order to define their trace elements concentrations. The aim of this study has been not only to characterize the quality of the grapes and the wines, but also to define the typical ratios between these two variable for each soils, and to outline geochemical fingerprints in a wide area where climatic differences have limited influence on the assimilation processes. The comparison of heavy metals concentrations between the several matrix and the varieties of grapes allow to define the relationship between soil matrix and wine.

Impact of Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica Newman) on the chemical composition of two grape varieties grown in Italy (Nebbiolo and Erbaluce)

The Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman, is considered one of the most harmful organisms due to its ability to feed on more than 300 plant species. Symptoms indicative of adult beetles include feeding holes in host plants extending to skeletonization of leaves when population numbers are high. The vine is one of the species most affected by this beetle. However, the damaged plants, even if with difficulty, manage to recover, bringing the bunches of grapes to ripeness.

Un jour, l’AOD (Appellation d’Origine viticole Durable), fusion de l’origine et de la durabilité

The evolution of wine quality issues is historically expressed by the passage from wine quality (what is a wine?) to wine quality (what is a good wine?). Perhaps the next question could be: what is a good sustainable wine? To contribute to reflection on this theme, it may be worthwhile to undertake an exercise in prospective fiction, which we have identified in the hypothesis of the AOD, the “appellation d’origine durable”, a scenario we will develop in the light of developments in the wine industry and the regulation on geographical indications.

Use of satellite in precision viticulture: the Franciacorta experience

Today, the concept of precision vine management (or site-specific viticulture) has a great relevance. It is based on the practice of a different management in relation to the different features of the crop site. In this way, all practices should be adapted to the land spatial variability and should be linked to the real needs of vines.

Produce wines with no quantifiable phytosanitary residues – Impact of washing grapes?

Consumer expectations are increasingly shifting towards “residue-free wines.” However, from an analytical standpoint, “zero” does not exist. Laboratories often use the quantification limits of analysis methods to signify ‘zero.’ Improved techniques now allow for the quantification of levels that were previously undetectable. This is why we prefer to use the term “unquantifiable residue” rather than “absence of residues.”

Italy sweet revolution: how club grapes are transforming the table grape market

Italy is the leader table grape producer country in Europe and the eighth worldwide (OIV, 2021). The italian production area is sized at approximately 47,248 hectares with a production of 9.66 million quintals of grapes. Apulia and sicily are the main producing italian regions which collectively account for over the 90% of the italian production area (istat, 2022).
