Without the proper nutrition introduced at the correct stage in the yeast growth cycle, unnecessary stress on the yeast can cause it to produce undesirable characteristics. Stuck or sluggish fermentations are risks for poor yeast nutrition.
Just as humans need sustenance to move and be active, yeasts also need nutrients for strong reliable fermentation. Yeasts for wine require a substantial amount of energy to multiply into a viable colony, to transform the sugar in the juice into alcohol and carbon dioxide, therefore their energy must be completely reintegrated to maintain vitality. The risk of a stuck or sluggish ferments could completely inhibit fermentation in which the activity of the yeast stops entirely. Wine yeasts are living creatures and their nutrients must be replaced when they are exhausted through rigorous fermentation activity!

Nutriferm Arom Plus
NUTRIFERM AROM PLUS is a nutrient produced from yeast that undergo enzymatic lysis followed by physical separation and concentration of free amino acids.
NUTRIFERM AROM PLUS complements the amino acid profile of juice and supplements aromatic precursors used by yeast in the early phase of fermentation to produce aromatic compounds.
NUTRIFERM AROM PLUS also provides survival factors (sterols and long-chain unsaturated fatty acids) which help with yeast viability thus ensuring successful fermentations.
The unique production process used to produce NUTRIFERM AROM PLUS eliminates yeast by-products responsible of bitterness and dryness. Consequently, NUTRIFERM AROM PLUS enhances the perception of sweetness.
Nutriferm Special
Nutriferm Special adds the necessary elements and nutrients for optimal fermentation metabolism by yeast in must, allowing the selected yeast to express the physiological characteristics for which it has been chosen.
The use of Nutriferm Special is particularly recommended in musts that have been over clarified, a condition that often results in poor or incomplete fermentation, which may be accompanied by increases in volatile acidity. In these situations, the contribution from inactivated yeast is two-fold: it supports fermenting yeast and contributes long chain unsaturated fatty acids (C18, C20) essential to regulate the permeability of cell membranes.
Nutriferm Special is also used for the treatment of stuck fermentation as its nitrogen content stimulates yeast metabolism while the cell walls present in the autolysate adsorb medium chain fatty acids (especially C8, C10) and their esters, compounds toxic to yeast and responsible for fermentation defects.
Nutriferm Energy
At the beginning of yeast metabolic activity, insufficient nutrient availability risks a successful completion of fermentation. Nutriferm Energy contains amino acids, organic nitrogen, micronutrients, vitamins, mineral salts and survival factors which are immediately available to meet these requirements. Nutriferm Energy provides alpha amino acids, trace elements, vitamins, minerals and survival factors naturally present in the yeast cell. The intake of micronutrients, vitamins and amino-acidic nitrogen is strategic in the early stages of yeast multiplication, when alcohol and oxygen deficiency have not yet changed their metabolism and ability to consume nutrients. Adding Nutriferm Energy, the yeast cell exponential growth rate increases, starting the fermentation phase sooner.
Technically this means:
The positive effects of Nutriferm Energy are particularly evident in difficult conditions such as: high sugar content must, botrytized grapes, high probability of microbiological contamination, etc.
