- The fingerprint of fortified wines—From the sui generis production processes to the distinctive aromaPublication . Perestrelo, Rosa; Jaouhari, Yassine; Abreu, Teresa; Castillo, Mariangie M.; Travaglia, Fabiano; Pereira, Jorge A. M.; Câmara, José S.; Bordiga, Matteo; Perestrelo, Rosa; Augusto Machado Pereira, Jorge; Câmara, JoséThe fortified wines that originated in Mediterranean countries have, in common, a high alcohol content to increase their shelf-life during long journeys to northern Europe and the American continent. Nowadays, the world’s better-known wines, including Marsala, Madeira, Port, and Sherry, due to their high alcoholic content, sweet taste, and intense aromatic profile, are designated as dessert wines and sometimes served as aperitifs. This review gives an overview of the traditional vinification process, including the microbiota and autochthonous yeast, as well as the regulatory aspects of the main Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish fortified wines. The winemaking process is essential to defining the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that characterize the aroma of each fortified wine, giving them an organoleptic fingerprint and “terroir” characteristics. The various volatile and odorous compounds found in fortified wines during the oxidative aging are discussed in the last part of this review.
- Global volatile signature and polyphenols patterns in Vespolina wines according to vintagePublication . Bordiga, Matteo; Perestrelo, Rosa; Câmara, José S.; Yang, Qiong‐Qiong; Corke, Harold; Travaglia, Fabiano; Locatelli, Monica; Arlorio, Marco; Coïsson, Jean DanielThe global volatile signature of Vespolina wines from different vintages was established using solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-qMS). Wines were also characterised in terms of bioactive compounds (such as individual polyphenols, biogenic amines and their precursors) by high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). In addition, some physic ochemical parameters, such as the total phenolic content, total tannins and antioxidant capacity, were evaluated. Seventy-one volatile compounds and thirty-three bioactive compounds were identified in Ves polina wines. The application of multivariate analysis to the obtained data revealed that 2-phenylethyl acetate, ethyl nonanoate, 2-hexanol, isoamyl octanoate and ethyl 2-hydroxymethylbutanoate were the pri mary compounds responsible for Vespolina wines classification, mainly indicative for wines of 2015 and 2013 vintages. Conversely, wines from 2008 and 2009 vintages showed highest values of procyanidin B1, catechin, gallic acid, trans-piceid and trans-resveratrol.
