Manufacturer: Lallemand

ML PRIME™ is a wine bacteria strain selected by Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore – Piacenza Campus
in Italy, with interesting microbiological and oenological properties for high pH red wines.
Produced with a specific optimised Lallemand process, ML PRIME™ is a unique concept of active freezedried 100% pure Lactiplantibacillus plantarum with a very high malolactic activity, and no risk of volatile
acidity (VA) production.
As soon as ML PRIME™ is added into the fermenting must, its high malolactic enzyme activity strongly
shortens the lag phase and allows a quick degradation of malic acid up to 3 g/L.
Respecting its window of application, ML PRIME™ is perfectly suited to conduct malolactic fermentation
(MLF) in the classical red winemaking process (short and medium maceration or vinification in the liquid
phase). Addition of press wine with residual malic acid into the same tank previously inoculated with
ML PRIME™ is not recommended.

Packaging: packets for 25 and 100 hl of wine/must
