Concentrated grape must obtained from Vitis Vinifera grapes

Italy is well known for its high quality wines, which are the result of using top quality grapes, both red and white. That is why our grape concentrates are highly recommended.

We produce our concentrated grape must using grape must from Vitis Vinifera grapes, primarily sourced from Italian vineyards. It retains the color, flavor, and aroma characteristic of fresh red grapes.

The grapes are harvested every year from September, in their ideal state of ripeness. Then they are processed immediately to exploit all their natural characteristics. The result is a natural concentrated grape must of incredible quality, with an intense flavor and high sweetening properties.

Our concentrated grape must has a more or less intense red color (red, deep red) or straw yellow (white), and can be produced more or less concentrated depending on customer requests.

Applications and uses of this concentrated grape must

Our concentrated grape must has many applications. It can be used in the winemaking field, as a corrective to obtain a more intense coloration of wines and in the production of Modena balsamic vinegar. Furthermore, its sweetening and coloring properties make it perfect for the preparation of jams, fruit preparations, marmalades, jellies. In fact, it is a natural colorant and an excellent substitute for conventional sugar.
