Active dry yeast to produce round red wines with soft and balanced tannins

There is a growing consumer demand for fruity and smooth red wines. This is why Fermentis proposes for the next vintage an innovative yeast, SafŒno™ FV 19, which reduces the perception of green/vegetal notes and astringency in red wines, while improving fruitiness and smoothness.

On the other hand, thanks to its reduced malic acid consumption during alcoholic fermentation, SafŒno™ FV 19 maintains a high total acidity of the wines, while enhancing the mouthfeel by increasing perceptions of sweetness and smoothness on the palate Thanks to its high production of aromas that tend towards red (pomegranate, cherry) and black fruits (blackberries, blackcurrants), it represents an excellent choice for producing fruity and soft red wines for early market release.

It is highly recommended for varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet sauvignon, Syrah, Grenache, Tempranillo, Nero d’Avola and Nebbiolo, as well as for red wines from early harvest grapes.

SafŒno™ FV 19 has been selected by Fermentis from multiple microvinifications of red varieties in collaboration with French research institutes and enological experimentation centers around the world, representing for winemakers a new, safe and easy-to-use tool to achieve pleasant wines with distinctive flavors and aromas.

It is an E2U™ certified product, i.e. able to withstand a wide range of uses, including cold rehydration or inoculation without prior rehydration, without affecting viability, kinetics and/or analytical profile, therefore it can be inoculated directly into the must or rehydrated prior to inoculation, obtaining the same results in both cases.
