hydrochloric acid were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Sodium metabisulfite was purchased from J.T. Baker (Deventer, The Netherlands). All the chemicals were of analytical grade, at least. HPLC grade water was obtained by a Milli-Q system (Millipore Filter Corp., Bedford, MA, USA).
Commercial hydrolysable tannins from chestnut wood intended for oenological use were provided by Dal Cin (Concorezzo, Italy).
The model wine solution (MW) was made of 5.0 g/L
tartaric acid and 12%
ethanol (
v/

sodium hydroxide (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany).
The white wine (WW
0) produced with Trebbiano grape in vintage 2016 was collected at a local winery just after bottling and analyzed. The concentration of Met in WW
0 was 5.90 ± 0.35 mg/L and that of total SO₂ was 80 ± 2 mg/L, while no RF nor GSH were detected.
