Dal Cin Gildo Spa Bentowhite Gel

Bentowhite Gel is the result of extensive Dal Cin research and is founded on multi decade production experience with Gelbentonite, a product that is appreciated all over the world as a top of the line bentonite with high activity and purity for winemaking. The necessity to decrease the concentration of undesirable molecules in wine, such as biogenic amines or residues from treatments involving allergenic proteins, inspired a new incentive to create a modern concept bentonite range.

    Application

    Bentowhite Gel was tested at very low dosages (max. 30 g/hL) and was effective for treating wines by eliminating caseinate and egg albumin residues present after clarification. Therefore it is possible to use these fining agents without worrying about potential residual allergens in the wines.

    Bentowhite Gel also decreases biogenic amines, in particular histamine which along with other amines can be found due to microbiological spoilage or spontaneous malolactic fermentation.

    Instructions for Use

    Bentowhite Gel must be prepared in water at a 1:25 ratio. After at least 30 minutes the solution must be mixed in order to obtain a creamy gel that is then added to the tank during pumping over to ensure a proper distribution within the wine to be treated. After around 48 hours proceed with filtration.

    Dosage
    • 10-30 g/hl.
