title: The importance of metallic elements in wine. A literature survey.
abstract: A review of the current literature concerning the role played by metallic elements present in wine is presented. The aim is to show the importance of these elements in the entire wine-making process, mainly through their influence on the organoleptic properties of wine. The study takes into consideration the individual stages of the process such as fertilization, fermentation and aging and also deals with other interesting aspects related to hygiene and dietetic properties, as well as the possibility of differentiating wines according to their metal contents.
