Q

What is carobonic maceration?

A
  • carbonic maceration and semi carbonic maceration techniques are used in the production of red wines
  • Induce carbonic maceration - a winemaker will seal whole clusters or whole berries of red grapes in a tank and pump in carbon dioxide
  • in the absence of oxygen, intact whole berries undergo a short intracellular fermentation, metabolizing individual stores of glucose and malic acid to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide without the aid of yeast
  • tannins and anthocyanins move from skins to the flesh of each grape, giving the juice color
  • the grape can develop an alcohol level of approximately 2% before it dies and the cellular activity ceases
  • the grapes may then rupture due to an internal build up of CO2, or the winemaker presses the juice, wine ferments to dryness with the normal activity of yeast
208
Q

What is semi carbonic maceration?

A
  • more common in the region
  • carbon dioxide is not added to the fermentation vat, but produced naturally
