Animae Cabernet Veneto I.G.T. Wine Without Sulphites

Perlage Winery presents for its line a sulphite-free wine, Animae Cabernet Veneto IGT. The company's deepest belief lies in respect for nature and the desire to offer a product that expresses the utmost purity of wine. It was a real challenge: sulphites in wine are, first of all, partly self-produced during the fermentation process by the yeasts that turn must into wine. For sparkling wines there is a second fermentation needed to develop the sparkle (Charmat method), which turns them from still wines into sparkling wines. Once again we have sulphite production. Perlage Winery, to get around this, identified a yeast strain with low sulphur dioxide self-production. Another aspect is that vinification takes place in total absence of oxygen to avoid oxidative phenomena in the wine. Animae Cabernet sulphite-free has a beautiful ruby colour with violet highlights, born after fermentation at a controlled temperature in steel tanks and storage in complete absence of oxygen. 10% of Animae Cabernet Veneto IGT is aged for a few months in oak barriques, giving the wine an elegant structure with pleasant hints of vanilla.
