Wine age and style effects on polymeric phenolic profiles of Pinot noir wines
Redacted.
Factors affecting Strecker aldehyde levels in alcoholic fermentation
Strecker aldehydes (SAs) are volatile compounds that significantly influence wine aroma and quality, contributing notes such as “cooked vegetable” (methional), “honey” (phenylacetaldehyde), and “malt” (2-methylpropanal, 2-methylbutanal, 3methylbutanal).
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.
Determination of Chardonnay oxidative susceptibility through Strecker aldehyde quantification and Spin-Trap/EPR spectroscopy
Oxidative susceptibility of Chardonnay wines (CW) governs aging potential and quality. Consequently, the wine industry seeks robust strategies to predict it.
Mucoadhesive properties of typical wine phenolic compounds and their capacity to modulate oral aroma retention under simulated wine tasting conditions
Phenolic compounds play a key role in wine sensory properties, traditionally associated with colour, taste attributes (e.g., bitterness) and trigeminal sensations such as astringency.
Commercial red wines under the lens: A snapshot of colloidal diversity
Red wine is a complex product whose sensory properties depend on the balance and interactions of its chemical components.
Impact of closure system and sulfur dioxide management on the oxidative evolution of Timorasso wine
When a winemaker considers which closure to use for a specific wine, they must evaluate several factors, including the wine’s expected longevity and its shelf life after leaving the cellar.
Metal-mediated reduction as a tool for estimating hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methanethiol (MeSH) precursor pools in wines
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methanethiol (MeSH) are the primary compounds responsible for the reduction fault in wine.
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.
Studying the redox state of wines under oxidative processes with a multi-parametric analysis
Wine oxidation phenomena are becoming a strong issue in the context of climate change.
A chemical survey of commercial Chilean Chardonnay wines: vintage-related variability in phenolic, polysaccharide, and color composition
Chardonnay is the most widely planted international white grape variety, covering approximately 210,000 hectares worldwide and about 10,205 hectares in Chile (≈ 7.9 % of the national vineyard).
Targeted and untargeted analytical approaches to distinguish barrel-aged from wines aged with alternative woods

Fate of fresh mushroom off-flavor markers during alcoholic fermentation: formation of novel acetylated derivatives
Since the 2000’s, the occurrence of fresh mushroom off-flavor (FMOff) in wines has become a recurrent issue, linked to fungal alteration of grapes.
Leveraging volatile sensing for rapid detection of smoke-derived signatures in grapes and wines
Smoke-exposed grapes accumulate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their glycoconjugate precursors that can be released during fermentation and impart unpleasant, smoky, and ashy flavors to wines, complicating harvest decisions and potentially compromising wine quality.
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.
Modulating the chemical and sensory profile of Avgoustiatis grapes (Vitis Vinifera L.) and wines: the impact of irrigation and post-harvest dehydration under extreme Mediterranean thermal conditions
The application of irrigation and post-harvest dehydration on the indigenous red variety Augoustiatis proved pivotal for managing the extreme thermal stress of the 2024 vintage.
Oenological potential of PIWI grape varieties assessed through volatile composition analysis by GC × GC-ToFMS
Viticulture currently faces major environmental challenges, mainly due to the intensive use of plant protection products to control downy and powdery mildew diseases, which are being intensified by climate change.
From amino acids to aroma: evaluation of grape aroma potential
Wine aroma is a major determinant of quality and typicality and originates from the interaction between grape-derived precursors and fermentation-related metabolites.
Impact of ethanol removal on wine composition: Nero d’Avola as case study
Over the past twenty years, climate change has increased the sugar content of grape must, leading to higher ethanol concentrations in wines.
