PROTAN Q
Quebracho proanthocyanidinic tannin for the vinification and the refinement
AEB proposes PROTAN Q during the fermentative stage, a quebracho tannin that, even if extracted from wood, has the same chemical structure of a condensed tannin. Its characteristic is to bind directly with grape anthocyanins and tannins with a polymerization process and, when added already during the mashing stage, it subtracts the polyphenolic compounds present in the skin and the berries from the action of the oxygen.
PROTAN Q is obtained by a pushed extraction process and its characteristics are ideal for the utilization during fermentation and refinement. It can be added in combination with the Ellagitan ellagic tannins and the Boisélevage wood derivatives.
