LEVEL2 FLAVIA
LEVEL2 FLAVIA™
ENHANCE AROMA AND TEXTURE
 
FLAVIA increases expression of terpenes and thiols (varietal aromas), increases roundness due to mannoprotein release.

Compressed Harvests
 
When tank space is limited, SALVAINITIA, or GAIA can be added directly to picking bins to delay fermentation and preserve fruit during storage.
