There is very little information on effects of Penicillium on aroma of passito wine. This study analyzed chemical composition and sensory properties of Amarone wines produced from withered grapes artificially contaminated by P. expansum or P. crustosum. Changes in properties of the two wines were evident by comparing wines obtained from healthy and Botrytis cinerea infected grapes used as controls. Penicillium infection affected primary and volatile composition of Amarone wine. Sensory profiles of these wines, obtained by descriptive analysis, resulted in clear differences in the wines between themselves and the control wines. Partial least square regression analysis explained only partially the relationship between molecules and sensory descriptors, and showed the existence of complex interactions of compounds mainly involved in specific aroma attributes. GC-olfactive analysis showed a greater number of odour regions in P. crustosum wine compared to control wines. Useful insight was provided into understanding how Penicillium rotten grapes affect Amarone wine properties.

Two untargeted metabolomics approaches (LC-HRMS and H NMR) were combined to classify Amarone wines based on grape withering time and yeast strain. The study employed a multi-omics data integration approach, combining unsupervised data exploration (MCIA) and supervised statistical analysis (sPLS-DA). The results revealed that the multi-omics pseudo-eigenvalue space highlighted a limited correlation between the datasets (RV-score = 16.

Article Synopsis
  • Botrytis cinerea (Bc) is a fungus causing gray mold in wine grapes that can also lead to noble rot, crucial for producing sweet and high-quality wines like Amarone.
  • This study focused on the early detection of noble rot on Trebbiano grapes using both destructive and non-destructive methods, aiming to monitor the fungus's growth shortly after infection.
  • Results confirmed that Bc infection significantly alters grape composition, and non-destructive technologies successfully identified early stages of the fungus's development, providing insights for better grape management in winemaking.

During beer and wine production, Maillard reaction products (MRPs) are formed, which have a particular influence on the taste and aroma of the fermented beverages. Compared to beer, less is known about individual Maillard compounds and especially corresponding yeast metabolites in wine. In this study, 36 selected wines (Amarone, Ripasso, red, and white wines) were analyzed by HPLC-UV and GC-MS concerning the amounts of 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG), 3-deoxygalactosone (3-DGal), methylglyoxal (MGO), glyoxal (GO), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and furfural (FF).

The current study evaluates the prospect of wine lees (WL), a costless by-product from Amarone winemaking, as a fat replacer in muffin formulation. WL have elsewhere replaced sunflower oil, allowing the creation of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% fat-substituted muffins named ML0, ML25, ML50, ML75, and ML100, respectively. Batter rheology, in addition to the textural and colorimetric characteristics, the pore dimension, and the sensory aspect of the different formulations were evaluated.

Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS) in Amarone Wines: Influence of Aging, Withering, Grape Variety, and Geographical Origin.

J Agric Food Chem

January 2024

Department of Biotechnology, University of Verona, Villa Lebrecht, via della Pieve 70, 37029 San Pietro in Cariano, Italy.

Occurrence of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), a potent aroma compound accumulating during aging, was investigated in commercial and experimental Amarone wines. In commercial Amarone, DMS was observed in concentrations ranging from 2.9 to 64.
