Dr. agronomist Biondi Bartolini, in collaboration with CDR srl and Parsec srl, has carried out an experimental project to verify whether certain chemical parameters, which characterize the polyphenolic content of a red wine, can be used to better manage the micro-oxygenation process. The experimental test was carried out in collaboration with the Marchesi Mazzei winery of Castellina in Chianti. To learn more about the project, the tests carried out and the results obtained download the article “Micro-oxygenation, an experiment to test the multiparametric approach and a decision support system”.

Obtaining the highest concentration of polyphenols in grapes is one of the main agronomic objectives that has a positive influence on the entire course of red wine making, giving the winemaker the possibility to obtain a wine of certainly higher quality. For this reason, it is important to identify the moment when the concentration of phenolic compounds in grapes is at its highest to start the harvest.
