The future of winemaking: the role of scientific research
Luigi Moio | OIV President
Luigi Moio initially traces the scientifc and diplomatic history of the OIV, the world's scientific reference on the entire supply chain, from the moment it all began: in 1874 with the arrival of phylloxera. He raises several questions: what is the logical future of wine, rooted in science? In what direction should we go? What is the strategy?
Starting with the reflection that we need to understand what happened in the past (how wine was born, who made it first, how the "mystery" of alcoholic fermentation was unraveled), to understand how wine progressed to today, then understand the present (what is modern wine) to get to the future of the vineyard and the wine of tomorrow, in light of climate change, sustainability, economic uncertainties, rising energy and material costs, and the transparency demanded by the consumer.
The lecture reproduced in this video was presented at the 18th edition of Enoforum (Vicenza, May 16-18, 2023)

Wine is fundamentally a high-intervention product, and along all stages from harvest to bottling it's our job to guarantee safety and quality, but it's also up to us to research, experiment, and ad...
Producing a wine according to our oenological objective, wanting to express the variety, but adapting practices according to the sanitary status of the grapes, is continuous experimentation. We aga...
Phenolic composition of grapes has an important impact on the final intrinsic quality of (red) wines. Wine taste, mouthfeel and colour are driven principally by phenolic compounds present in grapes...
For the production of quality sparkling wines, it is important to ensure the separation of the correct phenolic profiles of must fractions. Find out how UV-Visible spectroscopy, together with chemo...
Chemical, biochemical and physiological factors influence the composition of the retronasal aroma during wine consumption, but not only tannins influence mouthfeel: anthocyanins do too. New methods...
