Characterization of Berry Aromatic Profile of cv. Trebbiano Romagnolo Grapes and Effects of Intercropping with Salvia officinalis L.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are secondary metabolites responsible for the aroma of grapes and quality wine. Apart from genetics, agronomic practices may impact composition concentration volatiles in grape berries. The possible influence intercropping with medicinal aromatic plants (MAPs) on VOCs berries’ profile has been poorly explored. Trebbiano Romagnolo is a white Vitis vinifera cultivar cultivated within Italia region Emilia-Romagna. study investigated, first time, volatile berries as well influences sage (Salvia officinalis L.) A total 48 free bound were identified using solid phase extraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPE-GC-MS). In fraction, main classes C6 derivatives, alcohols, benzenes, while major C13 norisoprenoids, terpenes. results obtained this experiment indicate that Salvia berries, an interesting result cultivars considered neutral such Romagnolo, providing new insights exploring complexity terroir role agroecological strategies.
