      What has happened in the last 15 years…….
Several technological alternatives have spread
massively in the enological argentine industry, with
little or even without scientific knowledge of the
impact of such practices on the chemical and
sensory characteristics of the resultant wines.

Generalized use with no regard of different
varieties.
So, we are currently working in……..


                  .
   Differents alternatives of
   maceration

   Employment of tannins, oak
   chips enological enzymes and
   yeast.

   Microoxigenation.

“Efect of differents alternatives of
maceration in microbiological
aspects, phenol and aromatic
composition and sensorial
characteristics of the wines.”
So, we are currently working in……..
• Alternatives of maceration in red wines

   Cold-soak: whit classic cold (6-7ºC) and dry ice 3ºC)



Varieties: Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet S., Pinot Noir,
Sangiovese
      Warm post-fermentation maceration (30ºC)
Varieties: Merlot

         Carbonic maceration (25ºC)
 Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon

         Anthocyanin deferred extraction
   Varieties: Sangiovese
               Addition of tannins during the maceration of red
musts
Varieties: Malbec


               Use of chips and oak powder during maceration
Varieties: Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah.


               Use of chips during aging of young wines
Varieties: Malbec, Merlot, Croatina, Ancellota.
