Research & Development

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Spirito’s research is grounded in over 20 years of oenological innovation by Enartis and in a strong, long-standing relationship with beverage producers, particularly in wine and spirits.

For us, Research & Development is a core pillar, dedicated to creating cutting-edge products and technologies designed to meet the ever-evolving needs of the spirits market.

CERM

Centre of Excellence for Research in Microbiology

We are committed to transforming science into innovative solutions, enhancing the quality of the final product and supporting distilleries on their path to excellence.

Through an experimental approach, we develop unique and customized products.
Our Research & Development activities are based on in-depth qualitative and quantitative analysis of raw materials and their transformation processes, advanced analytical methods, application tests at both laboratory and production scale, as well as tasting sessions for detailed qualitative evaluation.

This knowledge allows us to create tailor-made protocols, offering concrete and targeted solutions that help distilleries maximize the quality of their spirits at every stage of the production process.

Enartis has always been synonymous with innovation and quality in the alcoholic beverage sector, particularly in wine. With a history of continuous commitment to research, Enartis invests in and promotes numerous R&D activities, developing solutions that meet the evolving needs of the global wine market.

The Centre of Excellence for Research in Microbiology (CERM) was established to raise the standards of research, development, and innovation in the field of biotechnology.

Dedicated to excellence in innovation, research, and the development of biotechnological products, it focuses on the study of yeasts (S. cerevisiae and non-Saccharomyces), yeast derivatives, activators, and nutrients, using cutting-edge technologies to explore new areas in depth.

CERM stands out for its advanced scientific approach, integrating genetic analysis, innovative yeast selection, and tailor-made biotechnological applications for the spirits sector. Our research focuses on:

  • Characterizing the raw materials from which spirits are produced; understanding the matrix has allowed us to guide our research efforts.
  • Enhancing fermentative metabolism to enrich the organoleptic profile of spirits.
  • Selecting and developing high-performance yeast strains, evaluating their behavior on a real production scale.
  • Formulating nutrients to optimize yield and ensure effective, controlled fermentation.

CERM products are a benchmark of biotechnological excellence, ensuring quality, reliability, and production efficiency.

Our yeasts and activators, developed through advanced microbiological screening technologies, enhance fermentation security, optimize the aromatic profile, and maximize alcohol yield, contributing to the creation of unique and distinctive spirits.
