Sulphur dioxide management in low input winemaking

Sulphur dioxide management in low input winemaking

Roberto ZIRONI, Piergiorgio COMUZZO, Lata TAT, Sergiu SCOBIOALA; Dipartimento di Scienze degli Alimenti, Università degli Studi di Udine, Italy

Nowadays different alternative practices and additives could be used in reducing the use of sulphites in wine-making, but the complete elimination of sulphites is, at the moment, still not possible. The feasibility of sulfur dioxide reduction depends on the step of the vinification; in fact, not in all the phases of the production process suitable technologies are available to partially replace or reduce the additive. A short review of the available alternatives to SO2 (practices and additives) are presented in order to explain their usage. Extract from Technical Notes of Code of Best Practice for Organic Winemaking, produced under the EU FP6 project ORWINE

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...

A novel electrochemical approach for rapid analysis of white grapes polyphenols and monitoring of pre-fermentative operations

M. UGLIANO, J. WIRTH, S. BÉGRAND, J. B. DIÉVAL, C. PASCAL, S. VIDAL; Università degli Studi di Verona - Vinventions, Francia

The ability to rapidly quantify and characterize phenolic composition of grapes and must is critical in the optimization of winemaking practices. In the case of white wine production, measurement o...

About the Role of the Bottleneck/Cork Interface on Oxygen Transfer

Aurélie Lagorce-Tachon et al. J. Agric. Food Chem., 2016, 64 (35), pp 6672–6675

The transfer of oxygen through a corked bottleneck was investigated using a manometric technique. First, the effect of cork compression on oxygen transfer was evaluated without considering the glas...

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...
