Elaboration of red wine

The basis of winemaking has hardly changed since its inception more than 6,000 years ago.
Plants that produce better in warm climates than in cold climates, but if we protect the waves well, they can be grown in any climate.
The sweeter the grapes the sweeter the wine, so the wine growers try to delay the harvest as much as possible.
The picking is made a hand, cutting the grape with special scissors that only cut the bunch, so as not to tear the plant.
For red wine is used for the whole ink ink: the must, the skin, the pulp and also the seeds.
The quality of the wine sold was determined by the quality of the grape's ink. That is why it is important, the climate, the qualities of the soil and even the shape of the pruning of the vines over the years, since all influences the quality of the grape.
The tails are placed in the press and then in the crusher to extract the wort.
In the hold, the result of squeezing and pressing is stored in stainless steel barrels, later added yeast for the sugar of the must becomes alcohol. This process is called fermentation.
The fermentation process is subjected to constant and continuous controls, and
experiments to improve the quality of red wine. This is done by taking samples of the must, and mixing it with different types of yeast.
Another essential point in the process of making red wine is the fermentation temperature. In the stainless steel barrel where the fermentation process takes place, temperature control is essential. The wine must ferment at a temperature between 30 ° to 35 °. The fermentation time in this type of wine is 10 days.
The preparation of the wine requires one more step: during the fermentation the wine must be drained to aerate the wine. Oxygen helps yeast to work faster in fermentation.
Also the sugar level is controlled because, during the process, when the sugar level goes down, the alcohol level rises. The fermentation is ready when there is practically no sugar left and the alcohol level for red wine is between 11% and 13%.
Subsequently the winemaker pumped the wine into the barrel to mix well.
The wine is stored for a few months, and then filtered to remove particles.
Finally, the bottling process arrives either fully automated form, manual or a combination of both.
The key to bottling is to prevent, among the oxygen in the bottle, because it sour wine. The color of the bottle (dark) helps to preserve the wine, since light can affect the taste of the wine.
The use of cork in the wine stopper is determined by the fact that that element seals the bottle tightly, preventing air from entering.
Inside the bottle the wine continues to experience changes as it ages.
