LALVIN BRL97™
(Saccharomyces cerevisaie)
Product details
Selected by the University of Torino from over 600 isolates collected from wineries of the Barolo region with the objective to assist in protecting colour as well as enhance varietal characters in Nebbiolo wine. LALVIN BRL97™ is particularly suited to red wines that will undergo long periods of aging, as well as varietals relatively low in anthocyanins. Its colour stability is due to low levels of β-glucosidase activity. Enhances varietal characters (including plum, spice) and contributes to wine mouthfeel. Recommended for reds to offer complexity especially in Grenache, Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir, Barbera, and Zinfandel.
