Scientific background

The natural process of yeast autolysis is a very slow process (generally >12 months) and aging on lees is a long and expensive process for a winery. It also represents a high risk from an organoleptic and microbiological perspective. Actually, lees has the ability to reduce sulphite into H2S, which combines sulphuric acid with amino-acids into mercaptan. Fine lees also contain microorganisms which may potentially spoil the wine during aging (Acetobacter, Brettanomyces, Pediococcus…).
