Food & Nutrition Applications
Applications

Given its characteristics, PREMIUM® PROSECCO is particularly recommended for the production of sparkling wines processed in bottles or pressure tanks. It can nevertheless be used in the primary fermentation of white musts for enhancing the aromatic characteristics of the product.
When using PREMIUM® PROSECCO comply with the relative legal regulations in force.

Directions For Use

Dissolve the necessary quantity of yeast in ten parts of tepid water (40°C) containing 1 to 2 % sugar. After 30 minutes, stir and gradually add filtered and sulfured must, being careful to avoid sharp drops in temperature. In order to help the multiplication of the yeast cells, the substrate must not contain more than about 2% sugar and must be carefully aerated. In this stage the use of fermentation activators such as V ACTIV PREMIUM® is recommended. Once the yeast is rehydrated and in active fermentation, it can be incorporated into the body to be fermented. It is advisable to gradually add the must to the reactivated yeast, already present at the bottom of the fermentation tank. For its proper application and for stuck fermentations please ask our technical service which has the official procedures.
