The results obtained showed that free anthocyanins evolve similarly in the musts of the two grape varieties: extraction of unacylated monoglucosides is quite rapid, whereas that of their acylated counterparts is more gradual. Unacylated derivatives prevail in both must types. However, acylated derivatives were in higher amount in the fermentation of the Cabernet Sauvignon than Tempranillo. In addition, Cabernet Sauvignon had a greater tendency to produce polymers in the post-fermentation period causing these wines to be more intensely colored. ER -
