Wine quality depends on grape biochemical constituents, including sugars, organic acids, amino acids, and bound and free aroma compounds, which are influenced by vineyard location and environmental factors such as temperature and precipitation [1].
Vinification trials were carried out between 2018 and 2021 in the experimental winery at Laimburg Research Centre, Alto Adige, to test the effect of grape stem inclusion during fermentation of Pinot Noir.
Resistant grape varieties are gaining interest in viticulture due to their resistance to diseases, allowing to drastically reduces pesticides in viticulture [1].
Reductive wine fault is characterized by the presence of odors such as rotten eggs or spoiled camembert cheese, originating from hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methanethiol (MeSH) [1]. These compounds stabilize in polysulfide forms, creating a complex pool of precursors that will revert to both molecules when the environment becomes anoxic [2].
