Incanto NC Cherry is a powdered oak alternative designed to enhance the sensory profile and structural balance of red and rosé wines. Made from inactivated yeast, oak, and exotic wood extracts, it increases volume, softness, and mouthfeel while promoting aromatic complexity with fruity and spicy cherry wood–like notes. Its antioxidant properties support color stability and freshness, making it especially useful in wines that show oxidation or overripe fruit character. Incanto NC Cherry offers winemakers a precise tool for elevating wine quality without introducing physical oak or tannic weight.
Protocol for Use:
Disperse in 10 times its weight in water before adding to wine. Homogenize thoroughly to ensure even distribution. While sensory effects are immediate, allow 1–3 days for full integration before bottling or making final adjustments. Bench trials are recommended to optimize dosage.
Usage Rates:
Rosé wines: 5–15 g/hL
— 0.05–0.15 g/L

Select dosage based on wine style, desired aromatic lift, and structural impact. Lower rates suit delicate rosés; higher rates are appropriate for structured reds or wines needing aromatic correction and added depth.
