M-Meno

M-Meno is an innovative product based on yeast hulls and PVI-PVP, capable of absorbing the heavy metals in must and wines. Its components are especially active in combating oxidative agents caused both by those of an enzymatic nature as well as those specifically linked to the oxidising actions of heavy metals on the aromatic bouquet of musts and wines. Its application helps to protect the varietal aromas, even the most delicate ones such as thiol compounds and fermentation esters. Thanks to its absorption action, M-Meno prevents metallic and bitter sensations, ageing and modifications in oxidation. It also protects wines and musts from negative impacts on the colour (e.g. pinking and browning). M-Meno is highly selective and leads to a significant reduction in copper, iron, aluminium, nickel, zinc, lead, chrome, arsenic, manganese and cadmium. It does not reduce alkaline metals and alkaline earth metals. M-Meno can be used both to correct and prevent oxidation while preserving aromas. It can also help in the antimicrobial treatment against unwanted microorganisms while, through iron chelation, it can hinder some species of microorganisms, such as Brettanomyces, which require iron to grow.
