SafŒno™ SPK 05 sensory features
For premium white base wines to produce clean and mineral sparkling wines:
Thanks to its impeccable fermentation abilities, SafOEno™ SPK 05 allows the production of white wines with clean, fresh, and mineral profiles. SafOEno™ SPK 05 is considered a clean fermenter having strong fermentation kinetics over a wide range of temperatures and with low nitrogen demands.
For « Prise de mousse » for all types of sparkling wines (Champagne, Prosecco, Crémants…). For the secondary fermentation (Prise de mousse), SafOEno™ SPK 05 shows fast and regular kinetics even at low temperatures (14°C/57.2°F) and allows to quickly produce elegant, fresh, and clean sparkling wines.
Thanks to its exceptional technical qualities, SafOEno™ SPK 05 is recommended for both primary fermentation and for the Prise de Mousse.
o Country: Italy.
o Grape variety: Grillo.
o Vintage: 2020.
Chemical characteristics of the wine after alcoholic fermentation:
– TAV: 10.68% v/v,
– pH: 3.06,
– total acidity: 7.51 g/L H2SO4,
– volatile acidity: 0.27 g/L H2SO4,
– malic acid: 2 g/L.
SafŒno™ SPK 05 allowed obtaining a white wine (base wine type – low pH and low alcohol) with a balanced aromatic profile with fresh, floral, and mineral notes. The wine was preferred by the tasters for its overall quality, freshness, and cleanness.

The Lesaffre know-how and continuous yeast production process improvement generates an exceptional quality of dry yeasts able to resist a very wide range of uses, including by-passing acclimatization, cold or no rehydration conditions, without affecting their viability, kinetic and/or analytical profile. Winemakers can choose to use our E2UTM yeast with the process that fits best their needs:
- Direct inoculation: Inoculate the desired quantity of yeast directly into the must in the fermentation tank, taking care to homogenize the entire volume. In white or rosé wines, ideally, sprinkle directly the yeast into the fermentation tank during the filling (after settling) to ensure a good homogenization. Alternatively pour the desired quantity of yeast on the surface of at least 10 times their weight of must. Gently stir to avoid lumps. Immediately transfer into the tank and homogenize the entire volume.
- With prior rehydration and potential acclimatization: Gently pour the desired quantity of yeast into 10 times its weight of tap water at 15-37°C (59-98.6°F). Gently stir to avoid the formation of lumps. Leave it to rest for 20 minutes and incorporate the yeast starter to the fermentation tank with homogenization. Following the rehydration, it is possible to continue with acclimatization by incorporating to the yeast starter ½ of a volume of must and leave it to rest for 10 minutes. Repeat the operation until the temperature difference between the fermentation tank and the yeast starter culture is less than 10°C (50°F).
