(third class)
Those who call vin primeur in France (the most notable of which is the Beaujolais nouveau ) and We were baptized novel, are the result of a particular technique of carbonic maceration vinification.
But let's see how to produce a novel:
boxes of whole grapes are not crushed tanks poured into saturated with carbon dioxide for a period from 5 to 10 days to about 30 ° C . In this situation triggers a fermentation inside the berry ( intracellular fermentation) and form a series of aromas that are reminiscent of wild berries, found a bit 'in all the novel thanks to this type of fermentation. The yeasts are added later.
At the end of carbonic maceration, the grapes are removed from the tanks and crushed. The fermentation is then rapidly (2-4 days) followed by draining and stabilization operations.
The result of this technique are wines that have rich, vivid colors, vinous, floral and fruity, fresh and delicate tannins not suitable for aging.
The entire cycle lasts a month or so, just because the novel has to be ready for sale starting Nov. 6. In Italy, the novel can be produced with any grape, also here with us that the novel is called even if not made of 100% with carbonic maceration, and even if done with 70% of wine from the previous year.
We realized at once that these are all tricks to 'clean up' a bit of wine!
