Abstract

The potential aroma of Vitis vinifera Falanghina was investigated by means of qualitative and semiquantitative determinations of volatile free and glycosidically bound secondary metabolites. Glycosilated geranic acid, α-terpineol, eugenol and 2-exo-hydroxy-1,8-cineole play a central role in characterizing the potential aromatic expression of this cultivar. In particular glycosilated 2-exo-hydroxy-1,8-cineole found in Falanghina must may be discriminant and hypothetically contributes to identify Falanghina wine origin and affiliation because of its high chemical and biological stability.
