S6U

White, Red

S. cerevisiae • uvarum

  • Isolated and studied by Dr. Ciolfi of the Instituto Sperimentale per l’Enologia near Velletri, Italy.
  • Selected for its ability to ferment at very low temperatures in musts with low levels of suspended solids.
  • Produces higher glycerol and organic acids from sugars under cool (<18°C/64°F) fermentation conditions, which may explain the increased mouthfeel. The reduction in alcohol ranges from 0.3-0.5% (v/v).
  • To ensure the dominance of S6U during fermentation, pay extra attention to rehydration and inoculation since it does not compete well with high indigenous yeast populations.
