View Table of Contents Novonesis Viniflora ® CiNe ™ Keep the fruit intensity and create new wine styles with this unique diacetyl-free malolactic culture Winemakers can now enjoy the benefits of malolactic fermentation without the production of diacetyl. Viniflora ® CiNe™ (citric negative) is a natural and innovative tool for winemakers to optimize fruit intensity, improve mouthfeel and reduce acidity. With Novonesis Viniflora CiNe, winemakers now have the opportunity to create new types of wine styles (white, rosé, sparkling and red), differentiate similar wines within a larger program, and bring fruitiness to its highest level. This lends itself perfectly when working towards consumer demands for natural, fruit forward wines. Viniflora CiNe offers all the benefits of malolactic fermentation management, such as microbial stability
and a softer palate, while preserving the fruit derived flavors and aromas from the grape and alcoholic fermentation. The key to CiNe is its lack of ability to metabolize citric acid, the primary driver of diacetyl production in wine, while maintaining the full ability to metabolize malic acid. The absence of the gene(s) responsible for the citric metabolic pathway is a naturally occurring mutation in CiNe… it is certified non-GMO. CiNe produces much lower levels of acetic acid (VA), because it is unable to metabolize citric acid, and it does not produce biogenic amines. The feedback from winemakers that have tried CiNe is universal – it is a perfect tool for fruit forward wines. CiNe is available in the same freeze-dried, direct inoculation format as all the other Novonesis bacteria strains.
