Reductine Super Anti-Casse - 1 kg
FrankeReductine Super Anti-Casse is an oenological product used to lower the wine’s rH and to help prevent and treat casse and oxidation. It contributes to wine clarity and stability and, within certain limits, can be considered an alternative to potassium ferrocyanide where excess heavy metals are limited.
It can be used in different types of wine, particularly wines intended for prolonged storage. It is also used as a preservation aid in wines with low alcohol content and low acidity.
Composition
- Anhydrous citric acid: 46%;
- Potassium metabisulphite: 36%;
- L-ascorbic acid: 18%.
Dosage and use
Dissolve 15–20 g/hL of product in a small quantity of wine, then add it to the total batch and mix thoroughly, taking care to minimise aeration.
10 g/hL of Reductine contributes approximately 20 mg/L of sulphur dioxide.
What is wine casse?
In oenology, casse is an alteration that can cause loss of clarity, suspended matter and changes in colour.
Types of casse
- Oxidasic casse: may appear as browning, turbidity and the formation of an oily or iridescent-looking film;
- Cupric casse: may cause turbidity and a reddish precipitate;
- Ferric casse: associated with excess iron and characterised by turbidity with a dark precipitate;
- Phosphatic or white casse: more common in white wines and characterised by whitish turbidity and a milky appearance.
