EnartisTan Unico 3 is specifically formulated to improve balance, aroma, and texture in wines with reduced alcohol content. By softening edges and enhancing mid-palate body, it helps recreate the sensory impact that is often diminished during alcohol reduction. Its proprietary blend of ellagic tannins contributes no oak flavor, allowing varietal and fruity notes to shine while rounding out acidity and bitterness. Particularly valuable in wines made from underripe grapes or those undergoing alcohol adjustment, Unico 3 restores harmony and structure in a way that supports freshness and drinkability.
Protocol for Use
Unico 3 should be added during aging or prior to bottling. Dissolve in 10 parts wine or warm water, mix thoroughly into the wine, and allow 3–5 days for integration. Bench trials are highly recommended to determine optimal dosage based on the degree of alcohol reduction and wine style.
Usage Rate
Recommended dosage is 2–15 g/hL, depending on the desired sensory enhancement.
— 0.02–0.15 g/L
— 0.076–0.57 g/gallon
Use at the lower end for light or delicate wines and increase the dose for wines requiring greater palate restoration or softness.
