The natural occurrence of ochratoxin A (OTA) and cis- and trans-resveratrols in red wines has been widelyreported. The aim of this work was to evaluate the ochratoxin A (OTA) and both cis- and trans-resveratrolcontent of red wine (from must to wine) in a pilot-scale vinification process in Calabria (Italy). Eleven sampleswere collected at different stages of vinification and analysis was carried out by HPLC. Wine from manufacturer3 contained the highest amount of trans-resveratrol (3.41 mgl1). This wine was characterized by an Aglianico–Magliocco grape variety. Interestingly, data regarding OTA showed that the value of this contaminant was low inall analyzed samples and, in each case, below the legal limit (2.0 mg/L (ppb)). Overall, the results demonstratedthe high quality of wines produced in Calabria.

Abstract
The natural occurrence of ochratoxin A (OTA) and cis- and trans-resveratrols in red wines has been widelyreported. The aim of this work was to evaluate the ochratoxin A (OTA) and both cis- and trans-resveratrolcontent of red wine (from must to wine) in a pilot-scale vinification process in Calabria (Italy). Eleven sampleswere collected at different stages of vinification and analysis was carried out by HPLC. Wine from manufacturer3 contained the highest amount of trans-resveratrol (3.41 mgl1). This wine was characterized by an Aglianico–Magliocco grape variety. Interestingly, data regarding OTA showed that the value of this contaminant was low inall analyzed samples and, in each case, below the legal limit (2.0 mg/L (ppb)). Overall, the results demonstratedthe high quality of wines produced in Calabria.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
