Fermivin IT61
INTENSE TROPICAL WHITE AND ROSÉ WINES
Purpose
Fermivin® IT61 promotes aromatic expression (even in neutral varieties) and complexity in white and rosé wines.
It has a significant production of aromas, such as ethyl esters, and also thiols in varieties with precursors. Particularly low VA production is a noticeable fermentative property.
The aromas are described as grapefruit, tropical fruits and pineapple. It also contributes to
an ample mouthfeel particularly when lees contact is applied. It is recommended for tank and barrel fermentations.
These properties make it perfect for varieties like Vermentino, Verdicchio, Trebbiano, Viognier, Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer.
