Metapiu 40 1 kg
DESCRIPTION
METAPIU’ 40 is a very pure metatartaric acid with an esterification index of more than 40.
METAPIU’ 40 is a metatartaric acid of high quality and has all the necessary requirements to carry out its inhibitory
action with effectiveness in wine.
ENOLOGICAL APPLICATION
Metatartaric acid is added to the wine in order to prevent the growth and subsequent precipitation of tartrates in the bottle
during its marketing.
METAPIU’ 40 acts in full respect of the characteristics of the wine, as it intervenes through surface phenomena, preventing the molecular accumulation of the crystals of the salts of tartaric acid in formation. The effectiveness depends crucially on the esterification index of the metatartaric acid, in fact esterified at 40% is 5-10 times more effective than the esterified product at 30%. For the precipitation of calcium tartrates, elevated esterification is even more important.
The time of the action of METAPIU’ 40 is conditioned by the storage temperature of the wine, in fact at 0 ° lasts for a few years, at 15 ° for 18 months, at 20 ° for 6 months, at 30 ° for 3 months, at 50 for a few days.
DOSES AND MERHOD OF USE
The dose is 10 g / hl for all wines (legal limit).
The optimal use of METAPIU’ 40 is on the wine ready for bot t l ing, even i f previously refrigerated, thus conferring additional protection against any precipitation "tails" and a more valid safety with regard to the soughtafter chemical and physical stability of the wine
The addition of METAPIU’ 40 does not provide contraindications.
Dissolve the expected dose of METAPIU’ 40 in about 10 parts of cold water. Add to the mass providing a good homogenization.
It is recommended not to associate the use of
