Albanian wines produced from three most important grape varieties, were analysed for their stilbene content (trans-resveratrol, cis-resveratrol, trans-piceid and cis-piceid), as they are known as important compounds related with positive effects on human health. 22 samples of mono-varietal wines from Albanian varieties “Merlot” (4 samples), “Kallmet” (6 samples) and “Sheshi i Zi” (12 samples) from 2013 to 2016 vintages, were analysed. Stilbene were determine by HPLC-DAD. Results of analysis has shown, that stilbene content ranked in order in Merlot (29.5 mg/L) > Shesh i Zi (12.3 mg/L) > Kallmet (7.27 mg/L). The glycoside form (piceid) was higher in content than the aglycone form (resveratrol) which is a stilbene pattern typical for Mediterranean wine.
