Abstract

TOMASI, D.; ALESSANDRINI, M.; BARCAROLO, R.  and  GAIOTTI, F.. Influence of blackberry plants on the aroma profile of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Pinot Noir. S. Afr. J. Enol. Vitic. [online]. 2017, vol.38, n.1, pp.35-37. ISSN 2224-7904.

V. vinifera cv. Pinot Noir vines were grown in pots together with blackberry plants and the effect of this association on the grape aroma was assessed. Preliminary data showed that vines that cohabited with blackberry had a different aroma profile compared to vines grown alone. The association with blackberry increased the concentration of 30 out of 74 free aroma compounds and 24 out of 95 bound ones. No aroma compound was identified exclusively in the treated grapes.

Keywords : Aroma profile; plant association; vine-environment interaction.
