BENTOGRAN GEL AND BENTOGRAN RAPID: THE NEW BENTONITES SIGNED AEB

2017/04/05

Bentogran Gel and Bentogran Rapid are the last generation bentonites developed by AEB: the first is ideal for particularly unstable wines, while the second is characterized by its rapidity of dispersion, without dust and inconvenience to the user.

Bentogran Gel has a high deproteinising power. It hydrates in a little more than two hours and allows a substantial improvement in the filterability of musts and wines, with a strong saving in filtration processes. Immediately after the addition of this bentonite, you will notice a quick clarification.

Bentogran Rapid, instead, is characterized by a high clarification speed. It is ready to be used quickly, without having to wait the usual eight hours required by traditional bentonites and has an activity able to reduce up to 50% the dosage of conventional bentonites. In the clarification of wines, it originates extremely compact sediments, reducing the lees to dispose of up to 40%.

The low doses to which Bentogran Rapid is active, allow the use even on prized wines, where the aim is to preserve structure and perfumes. Comparative tests have shown a sharp increase in the filterability of the treated wines.

The ease of use is the common denominator of the two products: just put them in cold water for at least two hours before use, to get the quick formation of creamy gel.
