Polyphenols are a large group of compounds of particular importance to the quality of wine. They can affect the color, astringency and bitternes. They may come from the grape during maceration, be produced by yeast metabolism during alcoholic and malolactic fermentation or from maturation in oak barrel. The aim of this research was to determine whether there are differences in polyphenolic composition and chromatic characteristics of wine produced by traditional vinification and wine produced by vinification integrale in oak barrel. Total phenols, total tannins, total anthocyanins and chromatich characteristics of red wine are determined by spectrophotometry methods. Obtained results indicate that after completed alcoholic fermentation, pressing and malolactic fermentation there are differences in polyphenolic composition of red wine produced by different vinifications, and in chromatich characteristics there are no differences or are minor.
