The project proposed by a French company that produces mead, involved the fermentation of this product with the Martinotti method. Starting from 4 different honeys (wildflower, lavender, linden, chestnut) we obtained four distinct fermentations in autoclave, each of which had its own specific kinetics. Despite this, all meads have reached an alcohol content of about 11.5 % vol. and a residual sugar around zero or almost, as expected by the project. An in-depth analysis of the meads produced was carried out, focusing on the classic oenological parameters, but also on characteristics generally never taken into consideration in the production of mead, such as protein stability or foam characteristics. A tasting of the meads was also carried out to have a sensorial characterization and therefore direct feedback of the product on the consumer.
Il progetto proposto da un azienda francese che produce idromele prevede la fermentazione e spumantizzazione con metodo Martinotti di tale prodotto. Partendo da 4 mieli diversi (printemp, lavanda, tiglio e foresta) sono state effettuate 4 fermentazioni distinte, ognuna delle quali ha avuto una sua specifica cinetica. Nonostante ciò, tutte le basi hanno raggiunto una gradazione alcol di circa 11.5% vol. e un residuo zuccherino nullo o quasi (come da progetto). In autoclave è stata fatta poi la spumantizzazione e successivamente tutte le analisi di laboratorio necessarie, analizzando le correlazioni tra i mieli di partenza e i prodotti finali ottenuti. In conclusione è stata fatta una degustazione degli idromeli su una base preferenziale, così da avere un riscontro diretto del prodotto sul consumatore.

Abstract
The project proposed by a French company that produces mead, involved the fermentation of this product with the Martinotti method. Starting from 4 different honeys (wildflower, lavender, linden, chestnut) we obtained four distinct fermentations in autoclave, each of which had its own specific kinetics. Despite this, all meads have reached an alcohol content of about 11.5 % vol. and a residual sugar around zero or almost, as expected by the project. An in-depth analysis of the meads produced was carried out, focusing on the classic oenological parameters, but also on characteristics generally never taken into consideration in the production of mead, such as protein stability or foam characteristics. A tasting of the meads was also carried out to have a sensorial characterization and therefore direct feedback of the product on the consumer.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
