An authentication study of the Italian PDO (protected designation of origin) olive oil Chianti Classico, based on near-infrared and UV-Visible spectroscopy, an artificial nose and an artificial tongue, with a set of samples representative of the whole Chianti Classico production and a considerable number of samples from a close production area (Maremma) was performed. The non-specific signals provided by the four fingerprinting analytical techniques, after a proper pre-processing, were used for building class models for Chianti Classico oils. The outcomes of classical class-modelling techniques like soft independent modelling of class analogy and quadratic discriminant analysis-unequal dispersed classes were compared with those of two techniques recently introduced into Chemometrics: multivariate range modelling and CAIMAN analogues modelling methods.

The agricultural sector, in particular viticulture, is highly susceptible to variations in the environment, crop conditions, and operational factors. Effectively managing these variables in the field necessitates observation, measurement, and responsive actions. Leveraging new technologies within the realm of precision agriculture, vineyards can enhance their long-term efficiency, productivity, and profitability.

Background: 'Sangiovese' (Vitis vinifera L.) is a well-known Italian wine grape utilized for producing the prestigious Chianti Classico brand. Here, 'Sangiovese' is generally trained to a vertical training system, with an imposed crop level of around 3-5 kg per vine to preserve grape quality.

Winemaking variables and techniques are known to affect the composition of wines. To obtain a rapid and safe fermentation course, with a reduced risk of proliferation of unwanted microbial species, frequent recourse is made to the use of selected microorganisms, which can greatly simplify the complex management of the fermentation process. In particular, selected strains of lactic acid bacteria are used, which are much more sensitive than yeasts to the operating conditions of the medium.

In Italy, Chianti Classico identifies a territory located in the heart of Tuscany that was once known as Chianti. From the pedological point of view, the entire DOCG (Denomination of controlled and guaranteed origin) has some common features but also shows many specific features related to certain small areas that give rise to the presence of many "terroirs". Due to the intertwining created by the alternation of valleys and hills and the different characteristics of the territory, factors such as altitude and exposure play a very important role in the vegetative and productive expression of grapes.

The astringency of red wine represents an important factor of quality and liking evaluation by consumers, but it is sometimes associated to a negative feature. We studied the differences in astringency subqualities of Sangiovese wines between consumers and trained assessors. Wines belonging to three denominations (Chianti Classico, Toscana, Morellino di Scansano) and a Chianti Classico specification (Chianti Riserva), from three price ranges (low, medium, high) were evaluated.
