Il paesaggio delle alberate aversane ed il vino Asprinio

Abstract

[English version below]

Nel corso del 2009, in alcuni vigneti allevati ad alberata in provincia di Caserta (Italia), è stata avviata una ricerca per valutare la variabilità genetica della popolazione del vitigno ‘Asprinio’, la condizione sanitaria delle piante e le caratteristiche del vino sia rispetto alla forma di allevamento (alberata tradizionale e controspalliera) che all’altezza della fascia produttiva. I primi risultati indicano la totale omogeneità genetica della popolazione del vitigno ‘Asprinio’, non essendo stati ritrovati campioni vegetali riferibili a biotipi diversi. I saggi immunoenzimatici ELISA hanno rilevato la presenza di GLRaV 1, GLRaV 3 e GVA in tutti i campioni, mentre l’analisi delle molecole aromatiche delle uve e dei vini, condotta mediante analisi SPME-GC/MS, ha messo in evidenza che le uve ‘Asprinio’, prodotte sulla fascia più bassa delle alberate, presentano una maggiore potenzialità aromatica, rispetto a quelle della fascia più alta o delle controspalliere. I vini prodotti con diversi protocolli mostrano parametri enologici (grado alcolico, livelli di pH a acidità totale) simili tra di loro ed a quelli riportati da autori della metà del XX secolo.

During 2009, in some vineyards grown on trees (alberata) in the province of Caserta (Italy), a study is carried out to assess the genetic variability of the ‘Asprinio’ grapevine population, the health condition of the plants and the features of the wine in relation to the breeding system (traditional alberata vs horizontal training system) and to the heigth of fertile shoots. The first results point out the genetic identity of the ‘Aprinio’ grapevine population, because no different bio-types were found. The immunoenzymatic essays ELISA revealed that all the accessions were infected by GLRaV 1, GLRaV 3 and GVA; whereas the determination of the aromatic molecules from grapes and wines, performed by SPME- GC/MS analysis, indicated that the ‘Asprinio’ grapes, grown on lower area of the alberata, show greater aromatic potential than those from highest level of the same or those from vertical training system. The wines, produced by different procedures, show oenologycal parameters (alcohol degree, pH and total acidity level) similar to each other and to those reported by some authors of the mid-twentieth century.

Characterizing graft union formation in different scion/rootstock combinations of grapevine 

In most viticultural regions, grapevines are cultivated grafted, employing either hybrid or pure species of various American Vitis spp., such as V. berlandieri, V. rupestris, and V. riparia, as grapevine rootstocks. These rootstocks play a crucial role in providing resistance to the Phylloxera insect pest. Beyond Phylloxera resistance, it is desirable for grapevine rootstocks to exhibit resistance to other soil-borne pathogens and adaptability to abiotic stress conditions. The introduction of new rootstocks holds promise for adapting agriculture to climate change without altering the characteristics of the final harvested product.

Mouthfeel effects due to oligosaccharides within a wine matrix

The mouthfeel of wine is one of the most important aspects of the organoleptic experience of tasting wine. In wine a great deal is known about certain compositional components and how they impact mouthfeel perception, such as phenolics. But there are other components where little is understood, such as oligosaccharides. Saccharides in general are found in very low concentrations with wine, especially compared to conventional foods. There is very little information about how oligosaccharides influence the mouthfeel perception of wine.
