Laktia‚ is a natural alternative for acidification. Laktia is a pure culture of Lachance thermotolerant, selected by Lallemand for its unique properties to produce high level of lactic acid during fermentation.
Laktia is added at the beginning of fermentation where it produces lactic acid from sugar (glucose), impacting acid levels and bringing freshness and aromatic complexity to wines.
Used in sequential inoculation with most selected Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast for red winemaking, Laktia‚ by producing significant level of lactic acid, is a natural tool for blending and/or to equilibrate red wines from hot climate. Moreover than freshness and acidity, Laktia‚ brings aromatic complexity from the beginning of alcoholic fermentation.
