Harvest time – Wine making products

Jacopo Spatafora — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 10:55:22 +0000

Each wine is a different story, there are no recipes, there are no universal products, only the technical experience and preparation of the winemaker can ensure the best results.

However, there are general tips that LET is happy to give to his customers to share information obtained through experience and years of hard work. The first tip is to always check the analytical values of the grapes and grape must, knowledge of the base helps, always, but especially at this stage to prevent errors or recover any shortcomings. In case of damages on the berries, depending on the state of health of the grapes, it is recommended to evaluate the use of enzymatic preparations, in some cases the effects could be counterproductive.

We always recommend the use of natural antioxidants and SO2, especially where there are high percentage of damage from pathogens; OenoMag is the ideal product, specifically designed for difficult situations, it is the security to prevent any oxidation and microbiological changes.

It is always recommended to use Selected Strain of Yeasts with the specific aim of optimizing the original must. WinCru WinFerm both ensure the enhancement of the grapes. Each yeast has its own characteristics, from an excellent aromatic extraction to the extreme fermentation capacity, every situation is different and there is a right Yeast to manage and enhance it, discover our line here.

Fundamental to obtain the best results from our yeast strains is the use of activators and nutrients equally performing. Win Energy Starter, Win Nutrient Bio and the all Fosfovit range provide, in combination with our strains, clean and safe Alcoholic fermentation.

WinZym is a range of enzymatic preparations based on our experience, high performance, free of harmful secondary activities, free weights and coformulants aggregates.

WinZym enzymes work even at low temperatures, extremes pH, in every situation there is no compromise, fining (WinZym Clar), red grapes maceration (WinZym Color), and maceration of white grapes (WinZym HX) are our technical pride.

WinTan is the range of more powerful tannins present in the market, very high solubility, high concentrations of tannic acid, low dose, tangible results. Available both as pure essences and as ready for use targeted mix .

Laboratorio Enologico Toscano, thanks to the experience gained in over 50 years of technical activities in winemaking and thanks to innovation and research is able to provide technologically advanced products and technical support of the highest level.

The importance of analysis in harvest time

Jacopo Spatafora — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 10:52:56 +0000

Analyzing the 2014, marked by heavy rains, hail and phytopathogenic relevant attacks, we cancertainly say that it is necessary to be careful, in order to obtain equally high quality wines. In addition to recommending defense treatment against rot and, since we are close to the harvest, the most suitable product is the Antimyc, natural, non-harmful to the environment.

Antimyc it’s not even dangerous for the health and does not affect the performance of fermentation. Be careful also to the analysis, in order to transform the hard work done in the vineyard to the cellar with a good result you need to check values. To get the best possible result we can analyze the maturation curves and perform specific analysis of maturity, resulting in a general framework that allows to optimize the production.

After harvesting the grapes, we should be familiar with the analytical values of the must so that we can create and maintain the optimum conditions for yeast in fermentation, a fermentation under control is the base on which to develop a great wine. The sources of nitrogen, for example, are often underestimated values , but are decisive for the quality of the final product, as other parameters that our technical staff keeps under control and is able to better manage. Laboratorio Enologico Toscano offers analysis packages or complete individual parameter, due to ensure maximum customer satisfaction and, of course, the best possible result in the cellar.

Botrytis Cinerea and Acetic Rotten

Botrytis Cinerea and Acetic Rotten, a solution is possible and real! When the vintage is marked by significant rainfall events and pathogens relevant attacks. To get good wines you should care particularly attention to the situation of the grapes due to conduct fermentation optimally.

To get this goal it’s advised to make analysis focused on the grapes, checking the general state of health due to do early intervention, effective and non-invasive. LET, after more than 10 years of success and continuous improvement, has developed Antimyc, a natural product able to restore the balance of microflora on vegetation, preventing the proliferation of pathogens causing mold and rot. Antimyc, it is not harmful to the environment neither to human health; Furthermore, not being a pesticide synthesis, has no waiting period and does not affect with the fermentation processes.

Antimyc is a special product with a specific action on the root apparatus and leaf crops. The high content of specific microorganisms is able to balance both the foliar and radical microflora that stimulating the vegetative development, by inhibiting the spread of bacterial and fungal diseases due to natural mechanisms. On the leaves and fruits is a naturally occurring bacterial and fungal microflora, adverse weather conditions or nutritional imbalances can unbalance this microflora and favoring the occurrence of fungal and bacterial diseases, such as the proliferation of Botritys Cinerea.

Following treatment with Antimyc, its micro-organisms colonize the possible sites of infection dramatically reducing the chances of developing certain pathogens such as Botritys Cinerea and sour rot on the vine, also Antimyc has enough action also to important group of peronosporacee and oidium. In a natural way is to prevent stress caused by biotic agents.
