Tartaric acid and potassium, which are naturally present in grapes, can salify in wine resulting in the formation of insoluble bitartrate salts that in most cases are not appreciated by the increasingly demanding wine consumers. The formation of potassium bitartrate and its eventual precipitation, in addition to its concentration, is due to particular chemical/physical conditions such as pH value, storage temperature, % ethanol, presence of protective colloids.
Easycheck makes it possible to monitor the tartaric stability of wines with extreme accuracy and precision thanks to ISO precipitation tests that can be carried out down to -4 °C.
Easycheck also allows detailed management of results, both in terms of graphs and conductivity, and enables evaluation of the most suitable treatments for achieving tartaric stability.
Analysis tests carried out with Easycheck tartaric stability analyzer by our specialist Fabrizio Squartecchia.
