From Fermentation to Bottling
The color of a red wine is a powerful sign of quality and style. From the first pump-over to the final bottling, every step of vinification contributes to extracting, fixing, and preserving a vibrant and stable the color.


Fermentation: Extraction & Early Stabilization
Enzymes for Maximum Color Release

ZIMARED® PLUS Speeds up anthocyanin extraction, encourages polyphenol release, reduces punch downs/pump overs, improves clarification and filtration, and increases yield. EXTRARED L High color-extracting activity, ideal in the final stages of maceration to help form stable anthocyanin complexes.

Tannins for Immediate Color Fixation
 

- V Tan® SG
Promotes anthocyanin–tannin bonding and early color stabilization

- Smartan® Uva
Enhances structure while safeguarding fresh fruit notes and protecting color during the most critical phase



Post-Fermentation: Tannins for Structure & Long-Term Stability
After maceration, the phenolic components require further stabilization to ensure color brilliance over time.

• Premium® Uva SG, Premium® Limousin SG, and other tannins from Enologica Vason – A complete range of specialized tannins designed to fine-tune structure, protect color, and adapt to different wine styles and polyphenolic compositions, offering winemakers maximum flexibility.
  
  

Oxygen Management: Controlled oxygen exposure is strategic for color development. Through micro-oxygenation with Microdue® Plus, oxygen can be dosed with accuracy to favor the formation of stable polymeric pigments while preserving freshness.

Pre-Bottling: Arabic Gums for Final Protection

At bottling, maintaining the wine’s colloidal balance is essential to avoid color precipitation. Arabic gums act as protective colloids, coating unstable particles and keeping the coloring matter in suspension.

- Araban® Super – A premium, levorotatory gum with strong colloid-protective action, ideal for wines with complex polyphenolic structures.
- Icon^® Gum – A next-generation gum offering excellent filterability and high stabilizing efficiency, perfect for wines requiring reliable color preservation and a polished finish.
