Elevage des vins : Comment alléger son budget barriques ?

Elevage des vins : Comment alléger son budget barriques ? | Grande Passione | Scoop.it
L’élevage des vins en barrique représente un coût non négligeable pour les producteurs. Le prix moyen d’une barrique de 225 l en chêne français se situe entre 600 et 650 €. Ramené à la bouteille, ce seul investissement se traduit par un coût de 0,7 à 0,8 € par bouteille pour une utilisation de la barrique sur trois ans. Sans compter tous les frais liés au travail d’élevage (ouillage, bâtonnage, entretien des barriques….) et les pertes en volume de vin. Des solutions existent pour alléger ce budget, Vitisphère a exploré quelques unes des possibilités disponibles sur le marché.

Vins sans sulfites : une nouvelle dimension avec un composé et sa méthode alternative

Vins sans sulfites : une nouvelle dimension avec un composé et sa méthode alternative | Grande Passione | Scoop.it
Vitisphere Portail internet d'information - Vins sans sulfites : une nouvelle dimension avec un composé et sa méthode alternative
Grande Passione's insight:

La société italienne Integrapes se veut l'annonciatrice de « l'ère des vins post-sulfite ». Créée par Alessandro Capodicasa en 2006, cette entreprise propose une méthode de vinification alternative, permettant de se passer d'ajouts de sulfites lors des phases de fermentations et d'élevage. Ce protocole (pour vins rouges, rosés et blancs, tranquilles ou pétillants) repose sur de meilleures pratiques oenologiques et un composé polyphénolique issu de pépins de raisins : le protos. Breveté, cet adjuvant remplace le SO2 grâce à ses propriétés anti-oxydantes et anti-bactériennes.
