The impact of Torulaspora delbrueckii has been investigated for the first time in the production of Amarone wine, a high-alcohol dry red wine obtained from withered grapes. In two different vinifications, winery trials were inoculated by a selected strain of T. delbrueckii simultaneously and/or sequentially to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Implantation analysis demonstrated T. delbrueckii was able to rapidly colonise the must remaining in wine up to 16.5 % v v(-1) of ethanol. The effects of T. delbrueckii on the aroma of Amarone wine were linked to its persistence during the fermentation and a great number of compounds varied in wine obtained with mixed cultures. The most significant changes were observed among alcohols, fermentative esters, fatty acids and lactones, which are important in the Amarone wine flavour. This study confirms the role of T. delbrueckii on wine aroma and the potential of non-Saccharomyces use in winemaking.
