skin fermentation Explanation: I believe that is the opposite of "bica aberta", i.e. fermentation with the skins. |

Whole grape fermentation ou carbonic maceration Explanation: Pesquisei diferentes métodos de fermentação de vinho na wikipédia e esse parece se aproximar mais: Carbonic maceration The process of carbonic maceration is also known as whole grape fermentation where instead of yeast being added, the grapes fermentation is encouraged to take place inside the individual grape berries. This method is common in the creation of Beaujolais wine and involves whole clusters of grapes being stored in a closed container with the oxygen in the container being replaced with carbon dioxide. Unlike normal fermentation where yeast converts sugar into alcohol, carbonic maceration works by enzymes within the grape breaking down the cellular matter to form ethanol and other chemical properties. The resulting wines are typically soft and fruity. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2013-03-11 20:57:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermentation_(wine) |
