Impact of non-Saccharomyces in malolactic fermentation of white and red winemaking
Nowadays the use of non-Saccharomyces as starters of alcoholic fermentation (AF) has increased because of the modulation of the organoleptic profile of wines
From June 25th to June 28th 2019, the research unit in Enology, ISVV, University of Bordeaux, organized jointly the 11th symposium of Enology, Œno2019 and the 11th edition of In Vino Analytica Scientia IVAS 2019.

SO2 is used during winemaking for its anti-oxidative and anti-microbial properties. A high SO2 concentration in the wine has negative impacts by hiding wine aromas and delaying malolactic fermentation.
Through the years, extensive studies have been conducted on fungal biodiversity during the winemaking process: from the vineyard until aging.
The wine aroma is constituted by hundred of volatile chemical compounds that depend on many viticultural and oenological factors.
