Cover Story: Aroma development during secondary fermentation and lee aging is a key determinant of sparkling wine quality. In Prosecco production, accelerating lee-related processes without compromising freshness represents a relevant technological challenge. This study investigates the influence of two yeast strains and different glucanase enzyme treatments on fermentation kinetics and volatile composition of Prosecco wines. Volatile profiles were evaluated at the end of secondary fermentation and after three months of lee aging, revealing that aging time was the main driver of aroma variability, while enzyme effects depended on strain and aging stage. These findings contribute to a better understanding of how enological choices shape aroma evolution in Prosecco wines. View this paper
