Mosti Mondiale all juice amarone

[rrussell]

just started my all juice amarone. the level in my fermentor reads 25 liters. when I rack it to my 6 gallon carboy is it going to fit or should I have an extra gallon jug handy to take excess.

 

[Wade E]

An extra gallon jug is a good idea.

It wouldn't hurt to keep an extra jug around for the overflow. Mosti gives you plenty so you can finish up with a full 23 liters. When you rack the final time, you should use up most of theextra. Be sure to fit an airlock on the extra. I keep a 1.5 liter bottle handy for the excess myself.

What size bung do you use for a 1.5 liter bottle? Thanks.

 

[grapeman]

#2 or 3 work with all the wine bottles.

Or if you don't have the right bung I use a ziplok bag and an elastic band and put a couple of pin holes in it. Enough to allow the CO2 to get out, not enough to let fruit flies in,

my amarone is stalled at .998 sg after 11 days. is this going to be low enough or should I stir again and leave for a couple of days more. It tested at .998 2 days ago and again today.

 

[Wade E]

Id give it a few more days just in case but it may be done.

I did one of these buckets last fall and after a little time in the bottle it is fantastic tasting! My only regret is that I only made one batch. This year its a two batch minimum.

 

[uavwmn]

rrussell, I went back to my notes for my amarrone and it finished at .998.

 

[uavwmn]

Vince, this is an exceptional kit!! The amaronne AJ kit I will definitely make again.

 

[PeterZ]

I have the Meglioli Amarone on order after doing the AJ last year. I'm really looking forward to it.

I started making Amarone3 years ago. I am aging it in bottles for at least 4-5 years. (all Amarone you see in stores are 4 yr old min before it gets to the stores)
When I made it from Juice I added raisens for better body/taste. I have since made a bucket (6 gallons ) on a yearly basis.
I have a great supplier who gets Italian, Chile and Californis juices and grapes.

Tom, mine also had the raisins. I agree with you, the longer it sits getting happy in that bottle, the better it is!!!

 

[uavwmn]

Peter, I think you will really enjoy this AJ Amarone.

 

[PatL]

I hope this varietal is good. I have never even tasted an Amarone but on the recommendations of the forum I ordered an MM All Juice Masters and started it yesterday. Just put the raisins in this morning. It had a fine cap on it.

UAVWMN,
When did you make it? have you tried it?
I brought a 2005 Amarone I made to my wine club a few months ago. All said was great but, also would be much better in 2 more years,

 

[Tom]

PatL,
Look in one of youe better wine stores. Try to find a bottle older than 5 years for UNDER $50.00. You can't.

 

[uavwmn]

Tom, it is 9 months and I age all my wine in the bottles. It tastes "good" now, but will taste better and then awesome with "time in a bottle".
