Until few years ago, it was thought that these wines – such as Pedro Ximenez, Tokai, Passito, and Vin Santo – were the result of simple grape drying, because the grapes were left in the sun, or inside greenhouses that had no controls over temperature, relative humidity or ventilation. But Amarone wine, one of the most prized wines in the world, is the first wine in which the drying is a controlled process. This controlled process – grape dehydration – changes the grape at the biochemical level, and involves specialist vine management, postharvest technology and production processes, which are different from the typical wine-making procedure.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e After a history of grape dehydration, the book is then divided into two sections; scientific and technical. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe scientific section approaches the subjects of vineyard management and dehydration technology and how they affect the biochemistry and the quality compounds of grape; as well as vinification practices to preserve primary volatiles compounds and colour of grape.  The technical section is devoted to four main classes of wine: Amarone, Passito, Pedro Ximenez, and Tokai.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The book then covers sweet wines not made by grape dehydration, and the analytical\/sensorial characteristics of the wines. A concluding final chapter addresses the market for these special wines. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for wineries and wine makers, wine operators, postharvest specialists, vineyard managers\/growers, enology\/wine students, agriculture\/viticulture faculties and course leaders and food processing scientists\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfessor Fabio Mencarelli\u003c\/b\u003e is based atthe\u003cbr\u003e University of Tuscia, Italy,in the Postharvest Labof the\u003cbr\u003e Department for the\u003cbr\u003e Innovation of Biological, AgriFood and Forestry Systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfessor Pietro Tonutti\u003c\/b\u003e is based at the Scuola\u003cbr\u003e Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa, Italy, where he\u003cbr\u003e leads a research project on fruit ripening and post-harvest physiology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 June 2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Blackwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780470672242\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e384\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27.04\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44383988121740,"sku":"9780470672242","price":224.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470672242.jpg?v=1780239950","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780470672242","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
