  • Effect of Temperature and Duration of Maceration on Colour and Sensory Properties of Red Wine: a Review
    Effect of Temperature and Duration of Maceration on Colour and Sensory Properties of Red Wine: A Review Hasan Şener Biotechnology Branch, Institute of Natural and Applied Sciences, Ege University, Turkey Submitted for publication: December 2017 Accepted for publication: March 2018 Key words: Cold maceration, skin contact, total phenols, aroma, colour, wine The maceration process plays an important role in the composition of the colour and sensory properties of red wine by facilitating the extraction of phenolic and aromatic compounds found in grapes. This review summarises the key findings from a study of the literature associated with research on the effects of the temperature and duration of maceration on the phenolic content, colour and sensory properties of red wine. In the past, many researchers have reported that higher maceration temperatures increase the extraction of phenolic compounds and enhance red wine colour, but low-temperature pre-fermentative techniques have become more popular in recent years due to their positive effects on wine composition, including lower oxidation of anthocyanin pigments and aroma compounds, inhibition of undesirable enzymatic activities, and an environment that is less conductive to microbial growth. Macerations carried out at low temperature ranges (10°C to 15°C) result in red wines with the highest levels of total phenolic content, anthocyanin and colour intensity, and richer fruity, flowery and spicy aroma. The duration of maceration has also been shown to have significant effects on red wine phenolic compounds, colour properties and the relevant sensory attributes. Studies show that prolonged maceration leads to a stable red colour, as well as richer tannin content, polymeric pigments and astringency.

The visit began with a tour of several Languedoc vignerons. This area is considered by many to be the most innovative in France, producing soft rustic red blends based on several of the traditional Mediterranean grapes used in the southern Rhône valley, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache and/or Carignan. The vin de pays wines are far less traditional and seem to dominate. The producers we visited were not concerned with not bottling under AOC appellation labels. The soils of the region vary notably from alluvial near the sea to more chalk, gravel and limestone. Many of the better vineyards, such as Mas de Daumas Gassac, that we visited are planted not on the plain but on relatively high, cool plateaus. Institut Coopératif du Vin (ICV).

  • The Heart of Puglia
    THE HEART OF PUGLIA C ONSORZI O DI TUTELA VINI DOC CASTEL DEL MONTE 1 History of Vine and Wine The age-old viticultural tradition of Apulia is supported with many documents and artifacts, some of which date back to the ancient Greeks. Nowadays they are kept in the Museum Jatta in Ruvo di Puglia. Even Pliny the Elder and Martial used to praise the qualities of Apulian wine, whose production – already widespread – increased more under the rule of Frederick the II, thanks to the introduction of new types of grapevines from the East. Canne della Battaglia > After the phylloxera outbreak in France and Italy (the south was excluded at the beginning), viticulture in Apulia had a great boost with the planting of different varieties of vines suitable for the realization of alcoholic bases, becoming the main producer and exporter of must. Thanks to the creation of schools and institutions, which support the scientific rigour in viticulture, Apulia fully enhances the potentiality of its territory and types of grapevines. From the second half of the Seventies, there was a big progress, which had been strengthened in the last decades of the past century, depending on the region’s three main varieties of red grapes: the Nero di Troia in the north and Bari area, the Primitivo in Manduria and Salento and Negramaro in Salento and Brindisi area, and also on men that with their great determination and wisdom changed the Apulian oenology with modern and innovative wines. Vineyards in Castel del Monte ^ Monumental wine cellar Giulio Bucci (1874) Over the centuries, the fame and exportations of the wine of Apulia grew so much that in 1596 in his De Naturali Vinorum Historia, Andrea Bacci wrote about the wines from the areas of Bari and Lecce and “that a great amount of them was exported to the land beyond the sea and to every place in the Venices”.
