Science and Technology

Fermivin P21 is able to release a lot of aromatic compounds and in particular ethyl esters (red and dark fruits) which are stable aromas over time.

The high Total Polyphenol Index obtained in the wines fermented with Fermivin P21 ensures a good potential for ageing.

Thanks to its very high HCDC activity (HCDC = 100 %), the level of pyranoanthocyanins is very high providing a stable colour to the wine.
