Dealcoholizing wine is no easy task. It is a distillation process that requires rigorous control and constant attention. The main objective is to eliminate the alcohol while preserving the aromatic compounds that give wine its flavor and aromatic bouquet.

There are several methods for dealcoholizing wine, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The objective is always the same: to eliminate alcohol while preserving the aromatic compounds that give wine its unique character.

Vacuum Evaporation

Vacuum evaporation is a method that involves gradually heating the wine. This allows the alcohol to evaporate without having to heat the wine to high temperatures, which could alter its aromas and flavors. Once the alcohol has evaporated, it is then separated from the rest of the wine.

Reverse Osmosis

Reverse osmosis is a more recent technique that involves dividing the wine into two streams. One stream is rich in alcohol, while the other contains mainly water and aromatic compounds. The alcohol is then removed from the alcohol-rich stream, and the two streams are blended again. This method reduces the alcohol content without affecting the aromas and flavors of the wine.

Distillation

Distillation is an ancient method of heating wine to evaporate the alcohol, which has a lower boiling point than water and most other wine compounds. The vaporized alcohol is then condensed and separated from the rest of the wine. Although this approach can eliminate alcohol, it requires a special temperature-controlled method to properly preserve the wine's aromatics without overheating it.

At moderato, we believe that every wine has a soul and that our role is to preserve it, even in an alcohol-free wine. To this end, we have developed a dealcoholization process that respects the integrity of the wine and maintains its sensory qualities.

We use low-temperature vacuum distillation. The aim is to preserve as much of the aromatic structure of each wine as possible. We use a respectful method that eliminates alcohol while preserving aromas and flavors. From the selection of the best grapes to the final tasting, every step is rigorously controlled to guarantee a top-quality alcohol-free wine.

moderato's alcohol-free wine is not simply a wine deprived of its alcohol, it's a wine that has been crafted with special care to guarantee a tasting experience rich in flavor. This is the promise we make to all wine lovers, whether alcohol-free enthusiasts or those curious about new experiences.
