A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
Unit 1: The course is designed to provide students with basic
theoretical concepts in the proper management of winemaking.
Concepts learned in preparatory courses will be largely taken
up and enriched with new information and aimed at learning
the principles of winemaking. The student will analyze the
stages involved in the production of red and white wines.
Unit 2: To provide the most suitable tools in order to apply
sensory methods and to face and solve business problems such
as wine shelf life, the comparison of new products with similar
ones already on the market, the verification of the compliance
to sensory specifications and the management of wine quality
and safety within the wine production chain.Unit 1: The course is designed to provide students with basic

Expected learning outcomes
Unit 1: The knowledge gained will enable the graduate to work
in Viticulture and Enology at both operational and management
in the cellars of production, interacting both with growers and
with those involved in the commercialization and marketing.
The student will be able to conduct autonomously a rational
process of managing the winemaking practices of crushing,
control and correction of the musts and their sulfidation. It will
be able to prepare the yeast for fermentation and manage the
process of fermentation. It will know how to prepare the
malolactic process and the phases of aging in steel and wood.
It will be able to perform correct practices of microbial
stabilization and packaging consistent with the type of wine.
Unit 2: A suitable knowledge is supplied to perform a sensory
session, to plan and manage a sensory laboratory, to analyse
sensory data and to communicate with all company.A suitable knowledge is supplied to perform a sensory session
and to plan and to manage an analysis laboratory, to process the
statistical data and to communicate with all company managers,
especially those involved in the wine market.

Sensory Analysis
Course syllabus
The main aim is to provide students with the most suitable tools to apply different sensory methods, in addition to chemical-physical and microbiological analyses, to obtain reliable, reproducible results. In particular, a suitable knowledge is supplied to perform a sensory session and to plan and to manage an analysis laboratory according to international standards. The course is also intended to provide a basis to face and solve business problems such as setting up new product and comparing it with similar products already present in the food market, and controlling product standards. Introduction to sensory analysis - Sensory parameters of wine and their correlations with chemical-physical indices - Sensory stimuli and the five senses - The factors influencing sensory evaluation (psychological andphysiological biases) and the methods to minimize them - Sensory laboratory, the assessors (panel) and the official analysis methods - Methods for the selection and training of judges - Experimental design and statistical processing of results for discriminant and descriptive methodologies - Business applications and problems of sensory evaluation
