Targeted and untargeted UHPLC-MS metabolomic approaches for the study of the stability of monovarietal wine samples over time

Metabolomics approaches are highly suitable for studying complex topics in wine traceability, the effects of global warming on wine components, the development of new resistant grape varieties, and the relationships between composition and wine quality traits.

Prié blanc sparkling wines from Mont Blanc: altitude effects on the physical-chemical characteristics during second fermentation and ageing

Prié blanc is an ancient white grape variety (Vitis vinifera L.), native to the Aosta Valley alpine region in North-West Italy, growing own-rooted in heroic viticulture at altitudes between 900 and 1200 m asl where it can ripe properly with short growing seasons.

Rapid assessment of wine oxidative stability combining climatic chamber stress tests and EPR spectroscopy

Accurate prediction of wine shelf life is crucial for quality and economic value. Since real ageing studies are time-consuming, accelerated tests simulate long-term chemical and sensory changes in shorter times, enabling rapid evaluation of oxidative stability, aroma loss, and phenolic evolution through kinetic models.

Impact of spontaneous versus inoculated fermentation on the colour and phenolic profile of Nebbiolo wines from 32 vineyards

Red wine production relies on the alcoholic fermentation of grape must, conducted either through the inoculation of selected yeast cultures, or spontaneously with a complex microbial ecosystem comprising indigenous Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces strains.
