VINIFLORA® CiNe

VINIFLORA® CiNe – Malolactic without diacetylation

VINIFLORA® CiNe is a frozen, concentrated culture from Oenococcus oeni for biological acid degradation (BSA). The specially selected strain breaks down malic acid into lactic acid – without metabolizing citric acid. As a result, there is no diacetyl and no sensory superposition by butter aromas. 

The result is harmonious, mild and varietal wines with clear aromas and reduced formation of volatile acidity.
