Fermivin MT48
FRUITY SPICY RED WINES
Purpose
Fermivin® MT48 gives round, expressive wines with soft tannins and complex aromatic hints.
It can handle grape varieties with high polyphenol content (Cabernet sauvignon and franc, Marsellan) allowing a short maturation period as well as lighter palate profile like Merlot and Syrah.
When used in combination with the maceration enzyme Rapidase® Extra Color, Fermivin MT48 optimises phenol compound extraction.
