In search for flavonoid and colorimetric varietal markers of Vitis vinifera L. cv Rufete wines

ABSTRACT: The better adaptation of autochthonous grape varieties to environmental changes is increasing the interest on them. Previous studies on Vitis vinifera L. cv Rufete, the flagship of DOP “Sierra de Salamanca”, demonstrated its phenolic potential to produce quality wines. The present study aims at discovering flavonoid (HPLC-DAD-MSn) and colorimetric (CIELAB) varietal markers in commercial Rufete wines (RW) that could be employed to discriminate them from those made with other varieties or mixtures. Compared to Tempranillo wines (TW), RW showed lower phenolic contents, with lower proportions of anthocyanins and flavonols but greater of flavanols. Principal Component Analysis applied to flavonoid and chromatic variables allowed varietal separation of the samples along PC2, which was mostly dri
