EXTRA Mosti ed Estratti
MCT and RCM, grape must and grape juice, grape seeds, oenocyanin
ALL THE INGREDIENTS FOR A QUALITY INDUSTRY FROM GRAPE PRESSING TO THE FINISHED PRODUCT
Caviro Extra, thanks to the Caviro Group's winemaking supply chain, can receive pressed must from its member wineries in 7 Italian regions.
This can be selected according to grape variety, territorial origin and typical quality, and is used to obtain natural, concentrated, rectified or boiled processed must.
Caviro Extra represents a completely safe choice, thanks to careful control and selection along the supply chain, to a raw material that is perfectly in line with
the specifications for PGI products, quality certifications and current standards, and to Italian standards for products destined for the wine, food and Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI markets.
From the marc, an important by-product of grape pressing, the Extra Mosti ed Estratti division also obtains the dried grape seeds required by the food, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries and, from the pomace of red grapes only, oenocyanin, a natural food dye.
MUSTS SUITABLE FOR BALSAMIC VINEGAR OF MODENA PGI (ABM)
Traditional Concentrated Must with ABM Certificate
The must belonging to vines recognised as suitable for the production of ABM and traced along the entire chain certified by CSQA, are brought to a concentration suitable for becoming a basic ingredient for ABM, also according to clients’ requests.
Product sheet >Boiled must with ABM Certificate

Applications
The Caviro Extra Must and Extracts division develops a range of high added value ingredients that can be applied to different industrial sectors.
The main ones are:
FOOD SECTOR
Rectified Concentrated Must is a liquid and transparent grape sugar consisting in equal parts of glucose and fructose.
It is suited to the new demands for healthier and more natural foods, as it has a higher sweetening power than sucrose, a reduced calorie intake, and better digestibility and assimilation.
WINE AND VINEGARS SECTOR
Caviro Extra produces musts for oenological use and is certified in the treatment and production of Boiled Must and Concentrated Musts suitable for Modena Balsamic Vinegars PGI, from authorised vines.
It is also suitable for the treatment of organic products according to EC regulation 834/07. Desulphurised musts for sparkling wine bases and fermentations. The company also makes its facilities available for processing in Conto Lavorazione.
PARAPHARMACEUTICAL, NUTRACEUTICAL, COSMETICS
The grape seeds are extracted from a selection of fresh, unfermented grape pomace, separating them from the skins and stalks, to be subsequently used for the extraction of polyphenols, natural antioxidants used in a variety of sectors and fundamental ingredients of many cutting-edge products.
Certifications
Production Chain
FROM GRAPE PRESSING TO QUALITY MUSTS
Caviro Extra produces musts for every need, always starting with the raw material par excellence, the grape.
After crushing, the musts are selected, which, once cooked, will form the basis for Balsamic Vinegars of Modena that are appreciated all over the world.
RCM (rectified concentrated must), grape juice and saba find their place in the very high demand for fruit sugars by food companies.
Finally, a third part is used in winemaking, closing a circular process that starts with grapes and ends with wine.
OENOCYANIN
Oenocyanin is a red food dye derived from grape marc..
Natural dyes are increasingly in demand in the food sector and Caviro Extra Oenocyanin, extracted from red grape pomace, is a top-quality product.
Separated from the other pomace, which will then be used for the extraction of grape seeds for polyphenols and grape seeds for oil, the red pomace is subjected to diffusion processes for the production of oenocyanin. Once spent, it is processed as biomass for the production of energy and natural fertilisers.
GRAPE SEEDS FOR POLYPHENOLS
In nutraceuticals, polyphenols are a basic element for food supplements.
Caviro Extra extracts grape seeds suitable for the production of this very important food supplement, with recognised antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, from fresh, unfermented grape pomace.
Once the grape seeds have been extracted, thanks to drying and separation treatments, the spent grape marc is used for energy production and in composting plants, once again turning into added value and contributing to the circular vision of the economy that is typical of Caviro Extra.
GRAPE MARC FOR OIL
Caviro Extra extracts grape seeds from the already fermented marc, a typical waste product, by means of drying and separation processes, which will then be used for the production of vegetable oils.
For Caviro Extra it is important to make the most of every raw material, as far as is technically and economically possible: once the grape seeds have been extracted, the spent marc will become biomass for the production of natural fertilisers and energy, helping to cover the company's energy requirements and returning to the land from which the original raw material, grapes, derives, thus perfectly closing the circle.

FURTHER INFORMATION
CAVIRO EXTRA OENOCYANIN FOR CHR HANSEN
Our partnership with CHR Hansen involves yet another innovative and sustainable solution, also rooted in nature: the extraction of a natural dye, Oenocyanin, from grape skin.
The colour is extracted from grape skin after the grapes have been used to make red wine. In other words, the production waste is transformed into a valuable resource thanks to the partnership between the Danish company CHR Hansen and Caviro.
