Just juice and sulfites.

Hi all. The concentrate is made with a flash evaporation process. Essentially, removes the water. Technically it is a form pasteurization but different from conventional and it’s a lot less destructive. We need to keep them cold because they remain perishable as they are not cooked to be shelf...

The name is referential to the blend because that is where it originated but not the juice itself. In the future I expect we will be able to expand enough to start offering regional specific varietals but that will take time. For now we are coming up with our own versions of regional blends. A...

you are spot on. The blend is 60% Zin 20% Petite Sirah and 20% Syrah. The zin is the base of the flavor profile.

Yes Indeed! These are the first. There will be more in the coming weeks and months. =)

Hey all! We released new blends today. There will be more in the coming weeks. Also kits are now available with the choice of abbreviated instructions. Matteo

I’m actually in Lazio. About an hour from Rome.

Hey Jim! The starter pack has 1/8 tsp of k meta. It’s a very low dose and should not cause any issues with coinoculation. The only thing I will say is that MLF will soften the wine. It may result in a flabby finished product. I’ve done MLF and I don’t prefer the outcome but that’s also my taste...

Hello All, Sorry I have been on hiatus but I have been busy moving my family to Italy. Finally we are settled so I am back in the loop. My first order of business here is getting Italian concentrates for you. =D FYI, we also have a bunch of new red blends that we will be introducing very soon...

FYI, very soon Label Peelers will be selling a new finer wine kits product. We are going to sell the fresh grape skins individually so people who like to work from fresh juice can use them during primary.

Fruit wines have a lower pH because you need more acid to balance the sweetness.

Awesome post! I’m fascinated with this myself. Though winemaking was spread throughout the Mediterranean by the Greeks and Phoenicians, the Romans industrialized it! They did the same with Olive Oil. Very soon, I will be living abroad in Italy for a while and plan to do a bunch of research. I’m...

It’s been hot and we like to ship orders in the beginning of the week during the warmer months because they tend to get there faster. It will likely go out today.

Remember that rosé wines are much darker than blushes. It looks darker in the carboy because of the volume but when you get in in the glass, it will be the right color.

It can stay in the refrigerator for months.

Updated product line will come out in the summer!

Hello all! FYI, we are updating the process with the carbon again with a few more enhancements. Mixing bentonite with the carbon before adding concentrate pulls a lot more of it out more quickly. We are also going to instruct customers to add fining agents separately as per the manufacturers...

What varietal is that?
