In the world of winemaking, ensuring the quality and stability of wine is essential for maintaining consumer trust and meeting market expectations. Among the many parameters that contribute to a wine's quality, tartaric and calcium stability play a crucial role. In this context, the EasyCheck analyzer by Steroglass has established itself as an innovative and efficient solution for winemakers of all sizes.
What is tartaric stability?
Tartaric and calcium stability in wine refers to the ability to keep its components in solution, preventing the formation of tartrate precipitates, such as potassium bitartrate or calcium tartrate crystals. While these deposits are harmless to health, they can affect the appearance of the wine, making it less appealing to consumers. These precipitations are slow processes that may occur in the cellar after must fermentation or directly in the bottle, once the wine reaches store shelves. Although the phenomenon does not alter the wine's organoleptic characteristics, its visual impact can compromise perceived quality, making it unacceptable for an increasingly demanding market.
