The SELECTYS® ITALICA CR1 strain was isolated in 2008 in Italy on raisined red grapes of theCorvina variety originating from the best Valpolicella vineyards intended for production of
Amarone wine.
Because of its origin, SELECTYS® ITALICA CR1 has high osmotolerance (> 300 g/L of sugar), even if it is inoculated at a very low temperature, <10 °C.
Its fermentation is regular, with no production of foam.
Although nutritional requirements expressed as available nitrogen are low to moderate, we recommend using VIVACTIV PREMIER as appropriate nitrogen nutrition, especially if the potential
alcohol content is very high.
