'Nebbiolo' (Vitis vinifera L.) is renowned for its use in producing monovarietal high-quality red wines, such Barolo and Barbaresco. The fight against fraud to safeguard high-quality productions requires an effective varietal identification system applicable in musts and wines. 'Nebbiolo'-specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified starting from available databases and 260 genotypes analysed by Vitis18kSNP array. Two SNPs were sufficient to identify 'Nebbiolo' from 1157 genotypes. The SNP TaqMan® genotyping assays developed in this work successfully identified 'Nebbiolo' in all musts and wines collected at different experimental wine-making steps. The high sensitivity of the assays allowed identification of must mixtures at 1% and wine mixtures at 10-20% with non-'Nebbiolo' genotypes. In commercial wines, the amplification efficiency was limited by the low amount of grapevine DNA and the presence of PCR inhibitors. The TaqMan® genotyping assay is a rapid, highly sensitive and specific methodology with remarkable potential for varietal identification in wines.

and belong to acetic acid bacteria (AAB), associated with wine spoilage. The timely detection of AAB, thought essential for their control, is however challenging due to the difficulties of their isolation. Thus, it would be advantageous to detect them using molecular methods at all stages of winemaking and storage.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin, a common contaminant of grapes and their derivatives, such as wine, and classified as possible human carcinogen (group 2B) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). is the main producer of OTA in grapes. The stability of the molecule and the poor availability of detoxification systems makes the control of in vineyards the main strategy used to reduce OTA contamination risk.

The utilisation of non- yeasts in co-inoculation and non-thermal technologies for must sterilisation is becoming increasingly prevalent due to their notable utility and potential. This new approach optimises the fermentation process and contributes to facilitating the production of wines with distinctive characteristics, improving their stability, and without organoleptic repercussions. Two trials were conducted concurrently, designated as A and B, using the same Tempranillo red must.

Most commercially available red wines undergo alcoholic fermentation by yeasts, followed by a second fermentation with the lactic acid bacteria once the initial process is complete. However, this traditional approach can encounter complications in specific scenarios. These situations pose risks such as stalled alcoholic fermentation or the growth of undesirable bacteria while the process remains incomplete, leaving residual sugars in the wine.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on understanding how the types of yeast in wine fermentation relate to the flavors and quality of wines produced, highlighting the impact of both environmental factors and farming practices.
- Researchers examined yeast communities in grape musts from various regions and found that the initial yeast composition greatly influences fermentation processes and the resulting wine profiles, rather than just the fermentation conditions applied.
- The study also identified specific gene expressions in different yeast species that contribute to flavor development, suggesting that leveraging diverse yeast functionalities can help produce higher-quality wines tailored to specific preferences.
