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"?

US and Italy came to an agreement, there will be no ban on Brunello.

Will appreciate a pointer to the literature. From what I have read, there is not yet a robust method that discriminates between varieties in the bottle, much less in situations where winemakers cheat by *blending* in varieties that should not be in the mix. Thus my curiosity about the assertion that the wines could be authenticated using laboratory analysis.

Obviously before developing a machine that can do it, it must be possible to do it in lab. A little Googling should get you some links, or call UC-Davis.
