Mapped the DNA of Muscat Scanzo the famous sweet thanks to the Consortium and CIRIVE
The Consortium of Moscato DOCG Scanzo and CIRIVE - Interdepartmental Research Center for Innovation in Viticulture and Enology, University of Milan decided to map genetically.
"Enhancement of the main Italian native vines and their" terroir ", this project was born several years as part of a financing MIPAAF - Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry.
Moscato DOCG Scanzo the smallest in Italy, in the 700 seems to be the most expensive in the world, "home" on the boards of the tsar and real, including the court of England, from this remarkable history were born the purposes of 'initiative: "Two are our main goals - said the president of the Consortium of Moscato DOCG Scanzo Angelica Cuni -. On the one hand preserve the history and distinctive mark of our age-old wine: it is likely that the black grape varieties was in the area already at the end of the fourteenth century. On the other hand protect it and make it grow in quality through careful clonal selection. We are very proud to be the forerunners and precursors of this project, which is bringing national mapping and sequencing of 50 other Italian native vines, which will be presented in a special symposium during Vinitaly 2013 ".
To be able to express the vineyards maximum production and quality are the 23 clonal lines intersect and give rise to an Italian wines want to get to approval and registration of clones of interest and complementary on the National Register of Variety Vine.
The 23 clones were analyzed in fact in relation to the composition aspects of the berries (weight of berries, peels, seed number, profile of technological maturity and phenolic maturity) and, for 7 of these, representative of the variability of the profiles of maturation, The berries were also analyzed with respect to the flavor profile of the grapes.
