Rectified concentrated grape must from Vitis Vinifera grapes
Rectified concentrated must is a type of grape must that has been treated through a concentration and rectification process to improve its characteristics and increase its stability.
As with the production of concentrated grape must, we make our concentrated must with grape must made with grapes of the Vitis Vinifera vine type, mainly from Italian vines.
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 rectified concentrated grape must of incredible quality and high sweetening properties.
The product is colorless and a dense liquid.

Rectified concentrated grape must is a product with numerous applications in various food and industrial sectors, thanks to its high concentration, stability and versatility.
In the beverage industry, it is used as a base for grape juices, both pure and mixed with other beverages, thanks to its high concentration of natural sugars which makes it ideal for producing sweet and aromatic juices. It is also used in flavored beverages, such as carbonated and energy drinks, where it provides natural sweetness without the addition of refined sugars.
In the wine sector, rectified concentrated must can be used to correct the sugar density of the must and to facilitate the fermentation process. It is a useful element for improving the quality of wine, enriching its body and flavor.
In the food and pastry sector, rectified concentrated must is used as a natural sweetener, replacing refined sugars and other artificial sweeteners. It is widely used in the preparation of jams, marmalades and jellies, giving them a rich grape flavor. It is also used in ice creams and sorbets, where it enriches the product with a fruity and natural flavor. It is also used in sauces and dressings, such as to enrich glazes or sauces for meat, thanks to its intense sweetness and natural aroma.
Other applications include use in animal feed, where it provides sugars and nutrients, and in the production of alcohol such as grappa and brandy, where the must is fermented to produce alcoholic beverages.
Key benefits of rectified concentrated grape must
Among the main benefits of using concentrated must, its ability to act as a natural sweetener stands out, with a lower glycemic index than refined sweeteners, making it a better choice for those who want to control their blood sugar levels. In addition, it is a source of important antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, which support the immune system and cardiovascular health.
Its production is also more sustainable, as it reduces waste and the need for short-term storage, contributing to a lower environmental impact. Likewise, the use of these products allows for clean labelling as they can be named within an ingredient list as “100% natural fruit sugars”.

The must rectification process involves a treatment that eliminates impurities and unwanted components, such as acidity and other substances that could compromise the flavour or shelf life of the final product.
This results in a more stable concentrate, with a neutral flavour and greater conservation capacity, which can be used in various food and industrial applications. In addition, rectification allows for optimal consistency and transparency, preserving the natural fruit sugars, making the product perfect as a natural sweetener without resorting to artificial substances.

Frequently asked questions about rectified concentrated grape must (MCR)
Rectified Concentrated Grape Must (RCM) is obtained from grape must through concentration and rectification. The rectification process removes acidity and constituents other than sugars, resulting in a highly concentrated, substantially colourless ingredient with a neutral sensory profile.
Bagnarese RCM is produced through several processing stages, including grape pressing, decanting and filtration, desulphurisation, concentration and rectification, followed by further concentration and packaging. Rectification removes unwanted non-sugar components while retaining mainly the sugars naturally present in grapes.
RCM is mainly used in the winemaking and food industries when a concentrated source of grape-derived sugars with a neutral sensory profile is required. In winemaking, it can be used for authorised enrichment and sweetening applications without significantly introducing the colour or aromatic characteristics of the original grapes. Its use must comply with the applicable oenological regulations.
Concentrated Grape Must retains characteristic grape components such as colour, organic acids and aromatic substances. Rectified Concentrated Grape Must undergoes an additional rectification process that removes constituents other than sugars, producing a substantially colourless ingredient with a much more neutral sensory profile.
Bagnarese Rectified Concentrated Grape Must is colourless and has a neutral sensory profile. The rectification process reduces the components responsible for colour, acidity and grape aroma, making RCM suitable for applications where sugars need to be added without significantly altering the product’s original colour or sensory characteristics.
