This wine kit is a great everday drinker, especially when served to non-wine drinkers. As with all Vino Italiano wine kits, DO NOT make them to 6 gallon / 23 litre carboys. Only make this brand to 5 gallons and you will have a inexpensive but very drinkable table wine. Have made two Piesporters so far and plan to make more.
I have a 6 gallon primary and a 5 gal carboy, so I am limited when it comes to using kits. Most kits call for 8 gal primary and 6 gal carboy......so.....this wine kit is perfect for me. According to reviews make it up to 5 gal rather than 6....ok, I'm set! Yes, it worked out great without having to buy new equipment!! White wine is a little harder to degas, so after stirring...stirring..you get the picture...I quit with still bubbles in it. I think that made the finished product a little harsher, but after 3 months it greatly improved. I have some set aside for Christmas Gifts so should be perfect by then. I really recommend these kits, especially if your equipment is smaller, like mine. This was my first kit, then I did V. Italiano Merlot.....really got that degassing thing down..and it turned out Great!! Too dry for me, but I added 2 Tbls wine conditioner per bottle....perfect...sweeter in the front of the mouth....dryer in the back!! ha ha I just ordered the V. Italiano Reisling..not here yet but anxious to get going on it. Fun, Fun, Fun........Try it!!!!!!
