indigenous flora
• Good alcohol resistance (till 15% vol.)
• Present a complete and regular fermentation kinetic within a wide temperature range from 17°C to 30°C
• Low volatile acidity and acetaldehyde production under suitable nutritional conditions
ORGANOLEPTIC PROPERTIES
• Strain able to improve the softness and the roundness of full bodied wines thanks to the valorisation of the lightest
tannins
• Varietal strain adapted to the vinification of Bordeaux grapes: development of “cut herbs” like aromas with
Cabernet Sauvignon and “ripen fruits” like aromas with Merlot
• Adapted to international market requirements by producing full bodied red wines poor in astringency
• Production of complex aromas which combine with oak flavors to create a very original organoleptic profile, what can
bring character to the lightest wines
SUGGESTIONS OF APPLICATIONS

• Particularly adapted to the production of red wines from Cabernet, Merlot and Shiraz grape families and to all full
bodied wines
