Incanto Toffee Chips from Enartis are crafted to bring indulgent, dessert-like complexity to wines, with a focus on sweet oak notes such as toffee, mocha, and caramel. Made from carefully selected French oak and toasted to precision, these chips release their character rapidly and evenly, allowing winemakers to elevate mouthfeel and perceived sweetness without extended aging. Incanto Toffee is especially effective in red wines where a plush, creamy profile is desired, or in whites and rosés seeking added dimension. Despite its bold aromatic signature, the integration is smooth, preserving the varietal identity of the wine while enhancing its texture and aromatic richness.
Protocol for Use:
Can be added during fermentation or ageing. Add chips directly to wine during fermentation or aging. For best results, place chips in food-grade infusion bags to facilitate removal. Contact time may range from 2 to 6 weeks depending on desired intensity. Sensory trials are recommended to determine optimal timing.
Usage Rate:
Recommended dosage is 100–300 g/hL
— 1.0–3.0 g/L
