Two analytical approaches have been applied to the characterization of
the aroma fraction of five Italian wines, solid-phase micro-extractio
n coupled with gas chromatography, and membrane inlet mass spectrometr
y. The first approach resulted in highly specific and reproducible dat
a and permitted the differentiation among wine samples from the same g
rape but from different production areas. The second technique, notabl
e for its short time of analysis and ease of use, exhibited a lower sp
ecificity. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
