In 2011 vintage, the evolution of monomer and total anthocyanins, as well as of total flavonoids and polyphenols of grapes and wine of Nero d'Avola and Perricone, varieties cultivated in Sicily, was studied. Anthocyanin profiles are commonly used for grapevine cultivar identification because it is currently accepted that this trait is closely related to their genetic characteristics. The concentration of Nero d'Avola and Perricone anthocyanins was determined by HPLC-DAD.
