Some vintages simply bring too much acidity, especially with apples, currants or early-harvested grapes. Carbonate of lime (calcium carbonate) binds part of this acid and makes must or wine more palatable.
When you stir it in, it foams, which is normal: the bound acid escapes as carbon dioxide. So work in a vessel with enough air space and add the lime in portions. Dosage as per package instructions, and it is better to deacidify in steps than all at once: you can always add more, but you cannot take it back.
