The Enology research group deals with the study of the quality of wines, especially sparkling wines, in relation to both the grape characteristics and winemaking technologies. In particular, the group is specialized in the study of grape and yeast macromolecules and their effects on wine quality and stability. Moreover, the research activity is also aimed at aspects related to sustainability in the cellar and the possibility of enhancing winemaking waste.
