Hey Jack:
Yes I was just thinking what can I do to make sure the wine comes out at its best. I spoke with other forum members and some say bottle or bulk it dont matter, but then some swear by bulk aging. Even the old italian guys here in my neighborhood yell at me and say WHAT IS YEAST? - there old school wine makers and do everything old world. I wanted to impress them with my Nero, to show them that new world wine making can taste if not better then old world wine making. - They don't use any additives like K-meta, sorbates, ect ect...nothing just age.
If your making Nero now and want to top off like I did, I find the Arancio is perfect as it does not change the flavor of the MM wine, the MM still tastes great and I think you would need to add alot more then 2 bottle to affect the flavors of the MM. I find it was a perfect addition to the MM.
I may bottle today, I really was thinking about bulk aging for 1 year, and keep racking to remove sediments through out the year to make the wine even better. But I guess thats going overboard.
I'm a newbie also and I'm going by the directions from MM, but I just wonder if you rack more, will the wine become a lot better - like "the more you rack the finer the wine"?? I have no idea. - I guess ill read a little more before I bottle. - Thanks for the link,
