Allappare - Tannins in red wine

When chewing unripe and rich in tannin fruits, or drinking a particularly tannic red wine, an astringent sensation can be felt in the mouth, as if the oral cavity suddenly became dry and rough.

This sensation is called apprehension ; therefore, a wine that alppa is a wine rich in tannins. Some red wines are particularly high in quantity, while the tannic content of white wines is significantly lower. Part of these tannins is present in grape skins and grape seeds (grape seeds), but an important part can also be released from wooden barrels in which the wine is left to mature.

Like all fruits, even grapes are decidedly richer in tannins when they are unripe; for this reason, the harvest period is fundamental for the production of a wine for which certain characteristics are sought. The contact time of the skins and must is also very important; in fact, as it increases, the quantity of tannins that the skins pass from to the must also grows.
