Features & Benefits

Clean and elegant fermentations can be granted even with high alcohol levels. When inoculated the yeast shows rapid fermentation kinetics – which is interesting for the fermentation of red wines to quickly inhibit the indigenous microflora. Then, fermentation is regular, with a small production of foam. The small amount of sulfur compounds produced avoids reduction phenomena that can affect the varietal aromas, and the fermentation cleanliness. PREMIUM® SUPERTUSCAN is a good producer of glycerol. It doesn’t adsorb much coloring substances on the cellular surface, this can allow an extension of the stay on the fine lees.

PREMIUM® SUPERTUSCAN is a strain recommended for the production of excellent, full-bodied red wines destined to malolactic fermentation, and reaching their full potential after a long maturation. Experiments made in collaboration with Verona and Udine University on the yeast-bacterium synergy have shown it is recommended also for the procedures of co-inoculation with bacteria. A primary fermentation with PREMIUM® SUPERTUSCAN creates the optimal basis for the full expression of the bacterium for a clean and organoleptically clean and interesting malolactic fermentation. The characteristics described above make it ideal for the fermentation of must that will make balanced wines with good structure and alcohol level. When using PREMIUM® SUPERTUSCAN comply with the relative legal regulations in force.
- Directions For Use
Dissolve the necessary amount of yeast in 10 parts of tepid water (40°C) containing 1-2 % sugar. After 30 minutes, stir and add the filtered and sulfured must gradually, so as not to cause sharp drops in temperature. To help the multiplication of the yeast cells, the substrate must not contain more than about 2 % of sugar and must be carefully aerated. During this stage, the use of compound fermentations activators such as V ACTIV PREMIUM® , is recommended. Once the yeast is rehydrated and in active fermentation, it can be incorporated into the main body to be fermented. It is advisable to gradually add the must to the mass of reactivated yeast, which is already at the bottom of the fermentation tank.
