Montepulciano grapes were dehydrated at 10 and 20°C, 45% RH and 1-1.5m/s of air flow. Samplings were performed at 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% of weight loss (wl). TSS (total solids content) increased up to 43° and 36° Brix at 20 and 10°C, respectively, in 27 and 48days. A straight regression line between M (kg water/kg dry matter) loss and days of dehydration with R ² values, equal to 0.97, was found but an angular coefficient of −0.048 and −0.038, respectively at 20 and 10°C indicated a different rate of weight loss. Volatiles compounds profile changed significantly with the temperature during the dehydration process. Anaerobic metabolites such as ethanol, acetaldehyde, and ethylacetate were much higher at 20°C than at 10°C and rose progressively, while at 10°C, the significant rise was observed between 30% and 40% weight loss. Alcohols and esters prevailed at 20°C while at 10°C larger abundances of aldehydes and terpene alcohols are observed. PCA analysis of GC/MS confirmed the volatiles compounds separation between the samples held at 20 and 10°C. A progressive evolution of the profile is observed for the samples held at 20°C while those held at 10°C show a change of volatiles compounds profile only at 40% wl. Loadings analysis show that aldehydes and terpenols are oriented towards the direction of 10°C samples while alcohols and esters in that of 20°C samples. The behaviours of GC/MS data were partially corroborated by the data of electronic nose. Electronic nose was able to follow the progressive change of aroma profile at 20°C while at 10°C grouped the responses obtained at 10%, 20%, 30% wl all together but at 40% wl, it discriminated the aroma response. This result opens a window on the potential use to monitor commercially the grape dehydration.
