português term

curtimenta

português para inglês Outra Vinho/enologia/vinicultura Winemaking
Dear colleagues,

Another quation similar to my previous one.

I'm translating some content on wine which includes descriptions of winemaking processes.

This time it's "curtimenta". I gather it's the Portuguese name for the winemaking technique by which the must is fermented over the grape skins.

Does anyone know the exact English term for this?

The original Portuguese content is as follows:
VINIFICAÇÃO: Sistema "Curtimenta" com decantação.

Thank you all in advance,
Margarida

skin fermentation

I believe that is the opposite of "bica aberta", i.e. fermentation with the skins.

Whole grape fermentation ou carbonic maceration

Pesquisei diferentes métodos de fermentação de vinho na wikipédia e esse parece se aproximar mais:

Carbonic maceration
The process of carbonic maceration is also known as whole grape fermentation where instead of yeast being added, the grapes fermentation is encouraged to take place inside the individual grape berries. This method is common in the creation of Beaujolais wine and involves whole clusters of grapes being stored in a closed container with the oxygen in the container being replaced with carbon dioxide. Unlike normal fermentation where yeast converts sugar into alcohol, carbonic maceration works by enzymes within the grape breaking down the cellular matter to form ethanol and other chemical properties. The resulting wines are typically soft and fruity.
