The presence of tartrate crystals in a bottle of wine is commonly perceived as a fault by consumers. Crystals are mostly composed of potassium bitartrate, but precipitation of calcium tartrate is becoming more frequent.
Enartis puts an end to cold stabilization (a common process to prevent potassium bitartrate crystal formation), hitting a milestone in environmental sustainability with the Zenith product range. The intrinsic properties of potassium polyaspartate, a polyaminoacid produced from L-aspartic acid, an amino acid naturally present in grapes, make it possible for Zenith to maintain total potassium tartrate and color stability over time, able to withstand thermal stress and inhibit the formation of potassium tartrate crystals, without altering sensory properties of wine.
To preserve acidity and organoleptic quality of wine, Enartis offers Surlì KPA. This product also increases the perception of volume and softness, aromatic persistence and increases the shelf life of wine.

Zenith Color
Zenith Color is a solution of A-5D K/SD potassium polyaspartate (KPA), Gum Arabic Verek and sulfur dioxide. It is an effective, rapid and easy-to-use tool for potassium bitartrate and color stabilization of red and rosé wines. It assures no changes in quality or characteristics of wine with full color and tartaric stabilization in a single addition. Zenith Color does not significantly modify wine filterability and can be added before microfiltration.

Zenith Uno
Zenith Uno is a solution of A-5D K/SD potassium polyaspartate (KPA) and sulfur dioxide. It is an effective, rapid and easy-to-use tool for potassium bitartrate stabilization in wine. It is able to assure a long-lasting stability also in wine with a high level of tartaric instability. For this reason, Zenith Uno can easily replace cold stabilization and other physical treatments. Moreover, it does not impact wine sensory quality and filterability. The liquid form allows for simple and fast use.

Surlì KPA
Surlì KPA is an inactivated yeast adjuvant rich in mannoproteins and potassium polyaspartate (KPA),
developed to preserve the acidity and organoleptic quality of the wine. KPA prevents the precipitation
of tartaric acid in the potassium salt form, and thus helps to maintain the natural acidity of the wine and
improve the sensations of freshness and minerality. Inactivated yeast releases the mannoproteins contained in the cell wall in a short time.
