The presence and growth of Brettanomyces is still an area of concern in many production sites. Increased pH and reduced doses of SO2 cause them to multiply.
OENOVEGAN® MICRO makes it possible to curb their growth and decrease the population of Brettanomyces thanks to its specific formulation based on chitosan. Chitosan is a derivative of chitin contained in the cell walls of Aspergillus niger, and can be used to curb the growth of most spoilage micro-organisms in wines. A fining agent with no derivatives of animal origin, it can be safely included in a vegan approach.
