PIRO Ferm
PIRO Ferm is a white crystalline powder for must and wine stabilisation and equipment hygiene. With grape skins it supports colour extraction; at high temperatures it helps limit fermentation activity. In finished wine it supports antioxidant and microbiological protection. Adding it alone does not guarantee stopping an active fermentation.
