A few days ago Vinitaly, one of the most prestigious events in the world of wine, where Italian tradition meets the latest innovations, came to a close. Although Italians, who have always been wine purists, are attached to classic production methods, something interesting is happening in the production of non-alcoholic wines
In the past these beverages were considered ‘cheap substitutes’ for wine, but today the panorama is very different. They are no longer banal grape juices, but authentic wines, with a complex and rich structure. This is thanks to vacuum distillation.
The process uses vacuum to remove the alcohol at very low temperatures and allows the preservation of the aromas and flavors that characterize wine, without altering its organoleptic characteristics. The result is a wine that maintains the quality and finesse of the original product, but with a reduced or zero alcohol content. This aspect is attracting the attention of those who, for health reasons or personal choices, cannot drink alcohol, but don’t want to give up the pleasure of a good glass.
Vacuum technology is proving to be a fundamental ally for wine producers who wish to expand their offer, thus responding to the growing demand for non-alcoholic beverages, without compromising on quality. Of course, as good Italians, we can’t help but emphasize that our heart (and our glass) remain firmly tied to tradition. If we have the choice, better just one glass, but of a good DOC red wine! 😊
