Varieties of Tămâioasă Românească (TR) and Busuioacă de Bohotin (BB) grapes were harvested in 2022 from Pietroasa Viticulture and Winemaking Research and Development Station that belongs to the University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest (USAMV). These grapes were taken in studies in order to highlight the quality of the grapes of the respective area following the analyzes carried out. These varieties are processed into aromatic wines at the Pietroasa. Sugar determination was performed by HPLC-RID analyzes on the grapes of the two varieties studied. The values of essential analyses such as soluble dry matter content (24,036% for TR grapes and 23,120% for BB grapes) and acidity content (0,477% for TR grapes and 0,537% for BB grape) are appropriate results for next step of wine production. While the glucose content is similar in both varieties of grapes, the fructose content in TR grapes (10.913%) is higher in comparison with the BB grapes (10.57%). The balance between constitutive (grains 96.8% and 98.9%, respectively) and structural (mesocarp 69.7% and 71.5%, respectively) uvological units for both varieties (TR and BB) with maximum economic potential in this area was demonstrated.
