Dr. Joana Coulon, head of Laffort Research and Development in Microbiology, and Dr. Peter Salamone, Laffort USA Technical Manager, will be among other informative speakers.
One keynote topic is ‘Reducing SO2 in Red Winemaking’, which will highlight recent innovations in lowering addition rates for SO2 throughout the winemaking process for a more natural approach to winemaking. Original results for the Laffort USA Applied Research Cooperative (ARC) group is another keynote presentation.
The Laffort ARC is a collaborative project with up to 15 wineries working on one single trial with an identically defined protocol. At the end of harvest, multiple replicates are produced across many lot sizes, varieties, and regions. Shaun Richardson, General Manager of Laffort USA, states of the trials that; “The ARC project is the ideal scenario to find real-world solutions to winemaking issues across numerous wineries in the short space of one harvest”.
