Dal Cin Gildo Spa Grandecò

Grandecó is practical to use and avoids “carbon linked problems” since the pellets do not release powder. Hence the bags can be emptied without aggravating the user and without the formation of “clouds” of product. Grandecó can be hydrated in water better than normal carbon powder since the pellets are quickly moistened and distributed in water; this consequently saves preparation time.

Application

Grandecó is a plant based active carbon with high adsorbent capacity for colorant substances found in wines. Given its high specific surface area it removes polyphenolic compound and can rapidly and decisively fix potential chromatic discrepancies that can occur during the production process.

Instructions for Use

Dissolve Grandecó in a small amount of wine or water, mix well and then add to the wine to be treated. To facilitate carbon sedimentation, in general it is advisable to add Grandecó before clarification

Dosage

Use 5 to 30 g/hL according to the tone and intensity of the wine to be treated. For oxidized wine increase the dosage up to 50 g/hL or more. It is advisable to first complete preliminary trials on small volumes to determine the adequate carbon dose to use.

Maximum dosage: 100 g/hL.
