LALVIN VP41™
(Oenococcus oeni)
Product details
LALVIN VP41™ was isolated in a hot region of Italy during an extensive European Union collaboration to research natural Oenococcus oeni strains with unique performance and winemaking properties. LALVIN VP41™ demonstrates excellent tolerance to alcohol (near 16.5% v/v) and a good tolerance of low pH (down to 3.1). LALVIN VP41™ is sensitive to low temperatures and performs best when wine temperature is maintained above 16 degrees C. This strain contributes to the red berry fruit aromas in red wine. Diacetyl production; low in Coinoculation; low in sequential inoculation
Selected by Italian selection from the CRAFT project
