EnartisTan Unico 2 is a naturally extracted, highly reactive ellagic tannin formulated to support and enhance fruit-driven wine styles. Unlike oak-based tannins, Unico 2 does not impart woody or toasted notes, making it an excellent choice for winemakers seeking to amplify red fruit aromas, add softness, and reduce harshness in red or rosé wines. Its high reactivity with oxygen contributes to increased oxidative stability, helping preserve freshness over time. Unico 2 is particularly well suited for wines made without barrel aging or those requiring a gentle tannic lift without changing the aromatic profile. It is often favored by winemakers who want to fine-tune mouthfeel and structure while preserving varietal purity.
Protocol for Use:
Unico 2 is typically added during maturation or in pre-bottling stages. Dissolve the tannin in 10 parts wine or warm water before adding to the tank. Mix thoroughly and allow 3–5 days for the tannin to integrate before bottling or filtration. Always perform bench trials to determine the ideal dosage for your specific wine.
Usage Rate:
Recommended dosage is 2–20 g/hL, depending on wine style and desired effect.
That is equivalent to:
— 0.02–0.2 g/L
— 0.076–0.76 g/gallon
Use lower doses for rosé or light red wines and higher rates for structured reds needing refinement and aromatic support.
