Abstract

The relationships between the color parameters (colorimetric indexes and CIELAB variables) and the phenolic components (anthocyanins, pyranoanthocyanins, hydroxybenzoic and hydroxycinnamic acids, flavanols and flavonols) of young red wines from Vitis vinifera L. cv. Tempranillo, Graciano and Cabernet Sauvignon (vintage 2000, Navarra, Spain), have been investigated during 26 months of wine aging in bottle (a period embracing their commercial life), through the application of different statistical analysis (principal component, correlation and polynomial regression). The results of the principal component analysis first indicated that for each variety a high degree of interrelation existed between the color parameters and the anthocyanin pigments. Moreover, it was found that for each variety the color parameters were correlated with the anthocyanins during aging in bottle. Finally, by the application of polynomial regression analysis, both anthocyanins (simple glucosides and acetyl-glucosides) and pyranoanthocyanins (anthocyanin-pyruvic acid adducts) were selected as the variables that best described the different color parameters during aging in bottle. However, differences were found between varieties in relation to the type of anthocyanin pigment selected for describing each color parameter, finally indicating the importance of the grape variety factor in the definition of the wine chromatic characteristics.
