Ensure double bioprotection of your winesDouble bioprotection, what does it mean? To face the multiple challenges of bioprotection of white and rosé wines in the pre-fermentation stages, we have developed natural microbiological bioprotection solutions which prrotect wine quality, from the growth of undesirable microorganims and from oxidation. Metschnikowia pulcherrima yeast offer an excellent alternative to the use of SO2 to […]

The various nitrogen sources as wine yeast nutrient: The importance of organic nutritionYeast needs nitrogen, among other things, to grow and ensure a smooth and complete alcoholic fermentation (AF). If the assimilable nitrogen is less than 140 mg/L, the grape must is considered deficient, and in this case wine yeasts need an addition of external nitrogen. Nitrogen for the yeast comes in different forms What is complex […]

Biogenic Amines in Wine and how to control themBiogenic amines are found in fermented food and beverages, including wine. Of the many biogenic amines, histamine, tyramine and putrescine are the most important in wine. It is the metabolism of amino acids by lactic acid bacteria that produce the biogenic amines found in wine. Red wines tend to have higher biogenic amines content than […]
