Experimental passito wines with different percentages of naturally noble-rotten grapes of the Garganega variety were analyzed to evaluate key molecules and odorants related to the typical aroma and sensory profile of botrytized passito wine. Remarkable changes in the concentration of 1-octen-3-ol, 4-terpineol, benzaldehyde, -(3-methylbutyl)acetamide, and sherry lactone 1 and 2 were observed between sound and noble-rotten wines. Wines were perceived to be different for floral, honey, figs, apricot, and caramel scents. By partial least square regression these descriptors were well correlated to samples. An important positive contribution of sherry lactones, -(3-methylbutyl)acetamide, vanillin, benzaldehyde, and γ-butyrolactone to honey, apricot, and caramel was observed. It is conceivable that oxidative effects of infection play an important role in the genesis of these chemical and sensory aroma markers. This study provides a predictive tool for winemakers that use natural grape withering to produce wines whose aroma profile is not standardized due to the seasonal variation of noble rot incidence.

causes different plant responses in grape () berries during noble and grey rot: diverse metabolism versus simple defence.

Article Synopsis
- The interaction between a necrotrophic pathogen and grape berries can lead to either noble rot (NR) or grey rot (GR), influenced by climate conditions.
- This study investigates gene expression differences during various rot stages (grey rot, noble rot, and early developing rot) using multidimensional scaling and enrichment analyses.
- Findings show that during the NR phase, grapevines lower their defense responses, indicating a balanced relationship with the pathogen, while the GR phase involves more aggressive plant-pathogen interactions.

One of the best-known Hungarian products on world wine market is Aszú, which belongs to the family of Tokaj wine specialties and is made from aszú berries. An important condition for the formation of aszú berries is the noble rot of technologically mature grapes, which is caused by Botrytis cinerea. At the same time botrytized sweet wines are produced not only in Hungary, but in many locations of wine-producing areas of Europe as well as in certain wine growing regions of other continents.

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.

Ras proteins are monomeric G proteins that are ubiquitous in fungal cells and play important roles in fungal growth, virulence, and environmental responses. is a phytopathogenic fungus that infects various crops. However, under specific environmental conditions, the overripe grapes infected by can be used to brew valuable noble rot wine.

Saturated linear aliphatic lactones are widespread aroma compounds in wine, linked to stone fruit, dried red fruit, and coconut descriptors. Despite their ubiquity, bioproduction pathways associated with these compounds in wine are unclear, but higher concentrations have been linked to many common vitivinicultural practices, including grape variety, microbiological influence, oak- and bottle-aging, and wine styles such as late harvest, noble rot, and icewine. Development of analytical techniques has enabled increasingly accurate quantification of lactones in wine, shedding more light on their potential origins.
