Q

Describe the processes of Carbonic Marceration & Semi-Carbonic Marceration

A

To 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.
Semi-carbonic maceration is more common in the region: in this technique, carbon dioxide is not added to the fermentation vat but produced naturally. Whole clusters at the bottom of the tank crush under the weight of those above and begin fermenting normally. As the carbon dioxide released by standard fermentation blankets the whole berries above, they begin to ferment internally
