Differentiation Among Romanian Wine Regions Based on Lead Isotope Signatures

SUMMARY

The objective of this study is to determine the Pb concentration and 206Pb/204Pb, 206Pb/207Pb, 206Pb/208Pb from several Romanian winemaking regions, in order to highlight credible geographical markers of wine origin. The Pb level concentration and the ratios of 206Pb/204Pb, 206Pb/207Pb, 206Pb/208Pb were determined in 25 white and 9 red wines using ICP-MS techniques. Based on 206Pb/207Pb isotope ratios it can be concluded that the vines grown in the Tîrnave vineyard [Blaj (1.1790 average value)], Hu?i vineyard [Hu?i (1.1958 average value wine center), Avere?ti (1.1908 average value)] and Ia?i vineyard [Copou (1.1875 average value) wine center], show traces of atmospheric pollution with lead [if 206Pb/207Pb=~1.1700-1.2200 (atmospheric pollution)]. Combining the 206Pb/204Pb with 206Pb/208Pb isotopic ratio may carry out a separation on the vineyards and wine-growing centers. Based on 206Pb/204Pb, 206Pb/207Pb and 208Pb/206Pb a separation of the wine samples was possible.
