87Sr/86Sr from rock and soil into vine and wine

Conservation of 87 Sr/ 86 Sr isotopic ratios during the winemaking processes of ‘Red’ wines to validate their use as geographic tracer

“…The use of 87 Sr/ 86 Sr in tracking wine regional provenance was among the most pioneering application of isotope geology to other sciences (Almeida & Vasconcelos, 2004;Barbaste et al, 2002;Di Paola--Naranjo et al, 2011;Horn et al, 1993). In most of the cases, however, the analytical uncertainty observed in Sr isotopes analyses of wines from literature is larger than most of the rock/soil isotopic variability, giving strong difficulties in matching data of wines with those from geological substrata of the vineyards.…”

“…This increasing consideration is mainly based on the fact that radiogenic isotopic ratios are extensively used either for tracking geological and environmental processes or in dating cosmological and Earth's materials Horn et al, 1993;Tommasini et al, 2000). In addition, radiogenic isotope ratios are fractionated neither by low--temperature nor by biogenic processes, then their abundance in geological materials (i.e.…”

Evaluating Nanofiltration Effect on Wine 87Sr/86Sr Isotopic Ratio and the Robustness of this Geographical Fingerprint

“…Sr is absorbed by the vine in the same isotopic proportions in which they occur as available forms in the soil; the biological processes involved in vine metabolism do not significantly fractionate Sr isotopes. Thus, vine plants reflect the environment of growth: bedrock, soil and soil water (Horn et al, 1993;Capo et al, 1998).…”

“…Literature is available on the progress made since the first application of the 87 Sr/ 86 Sr isotopic ratio for wine traceability purposes in the 1990s, with an emphasis on the increasing number of studies developed in the last years (Horn et al, 1993;1997;Almeida & Vasconcelos, 2001;Barbaste et al, 2002;Almeida & Vasconcelos, 2004;Vorster et al, 2010;Marchionni et al, 2013;Mercurio et al, 2014;Durante et al, 2015;Marchionni et al, 2016).…”

Effect of new and conventional technological processes on the terroir marker87Sr/86Sr

“…Several studies on its use for wine geographical origin assessment can be found in literature [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Recently, within a research program regarding strategies for wine fingerprinting, the authors confirmed 87 Sr/ 86 Sr as a viable tool for traceability of Portuguese DO, where soils were developed on different geological formations [9,10].…”
