Abstract: | "BACKGROUND: Temperature changes and rainfall fluctuations affect the winemaking industry by altering vine phenology, crop yield, must composition and wine quality. Here, the evolution of the varietal aroma potential during ripening over three consecutive seasons has been analyzed considering climate conditions. The effect of season, ripening date and climatic conditions on aroma precursor accumulation in grapes was studied by multivariate analysis and discussed in regard to the potential aromatic quality of the wine. RESULTS: In contrast to musts obtained from grapes harvested in warm and dry seasons (2014 and 2015), musts obtained from grapes harvested in the coolest and most humid year (2013) showed a lower pH, higher total acidity, higher varietal aroma potential index (IPAv), and higher aromatic potential of linalool, geraniol and nerol (typical of the Muscat flavor). CONCLUSION: Considering the three seasons, grapes synthesized and accumulated more precursors when milder temperatures and late rains throughout veraison were recorded. However, we observed a high fluctuation of aroma precursors during the ripening period, so choosing the correct harvesting date (according to grape aroma potential) may overcome some of the negative effects linked to climate conditions.
