Phenolic maturity in cv. Sangiovese: evolution of the characteristics of anthocyanins and tannins in skin and seeds

Phenolic maturity in cv. Sangiovese: evolution of the characteristics of anthocyanins and tannins in skin and seeds

Gianluca Allegro, Chiara Pastore, Gabriele Valentini, Emilia Colucci and Ilaria Filippetti; University of Bologna, Italy.

This study showed the flavonoid concentration of Sangiovese berries during ripening and the extractability of these compounds after simulated maceration. Our approach confirmed that ripening stage had a strong impact on the increase of extractable anthocyanins and skin tannins. This reflected a rise in the extractability of these compounds independent of the accumulation of their total amount, probably due to modification in skin cell wall structure. In contrast, ripening stage seems to have no effects on the extractability of seed tannins as both total and extractable portions declined from post-veraison to harvest.

The knowledge of dynamic flavonoid in berry and wine-like solution during ripening, can be used by viticulturists and winemakers to improve Sangiovese harvest management, although further researches are needed to understand in more detail the effects of phenolic maturity on wine sensory attributes.

A new device for stabilisation of white wines throughout a continous flow system

Parpinello, G.P., Ricci, A., Serantoni, M., Balducci, A., Ragni, L., Versari, A.; University of Bologna, Italy

Proteins occurring in wine originate from several sources during the winemaking process. Protein content in wines ranges from traces up to hundreds of mg/L, and may cause physical instability in wh...

An electrochemical method for real time measurement of polyphenols during winemaking

By Christine Pascal, Nelly Champeau, Jean Baptiste Diéval, Stéphane Vidal; Vinventions, Enology team, France

Polyphenols are known to play a major role in must oxidation as well as in wine aging and oxidation. However, they are difficult to measure in the cellar due to lack of adequate technology. Therefo...
