Default Laboratory analysis for Sangiovese authenticity?


The July 31, 2008 Wine Spectator issue at page 15, in an article
titled U.S. Threatens to Block Brunello Imports, regarding the recent
accusations of fake Brunellos, says:
* * *
The TTB sent a follow-up letter informing the Italians that if the
matter is not resolved by June 9, the government would hold Brunello
Shipments unless "the importer submits a full and accurate statement
of contents verified by laboratory analysis, or a statement from the
government of Italy demonstrating that the product is made from 100%
Sangiovese grapes."
* * *

Is anyone aware of a "laboratory analysis" that can tell what grapes a
wine is made from"?
