Fining Agents

For all of the products used, protocols should be carefully followed for trials, preparation and use. The extent of fining can make a difference as to how much filtration will be necessary and can affect a wine’s body, aroma, flavor and color.

Always prepare fining agents in water (not wine or diluted wine). Addition by pumping using the venturi effect is a very efficient way of dispersal. The Mazzei Injector is a particularly effective tool for this purpose. Closed circulation after addition is also beneficial.Consult the manufacturer’s recommendation prior to use.

Dosage for all fining, clari­fying and stabilizing agents should be determined by laboratory bench trials.
