Viniflora CiNe

Viniflora^® CiNe^™

Viniflora^® CiNe^™ is a freeze-dried, direct inoculation starter culture of Oenococcus oeni. CiNe^™ is a unique strain that does not metabolize citric acid therefore it does not produce diacetyl.  In turn it does not produce the typical buttery/creamy flavor traditionally linked to malolactic cultures. CiNe^™ intensifies the fruit in white, rose and red wines. As the world leader in bacterial cultures for food industries, Novonesis has committed Research & Development and advanced production resources to providing the best malolactic bacterial cultures to the wine industry. Novonesis preparations are not only tested for viability, but each batch is also tested for the cell’s ability to covert malic acid to lactic acid. Novonesis is the only company that utilizes the MACC test (‘Malic Acid Conversion Capacity Test’) as a quality control parameter for each batch produced.
