Self-brett launch
Self-Brett is an innovative new device that makes testing Brettanomyces in your winery simple and easy.
It is based on a patented selective growth media that is specific to Brettanomyces species, incorporated into a very simple-to-use device.
The benefits of Self-Brett are:
- Simple to use
- No other lab equipment needed
- Positive Brett detection by both smell and visual colony growth
- No laboratory skills required
- Semi-quantitative determination
- To use: open the tube, pour in wine, drain, re-seal and leave
Developed in Italy by Dr. Simona Campolongo of Grape SRL and now used around the world and brought to Australia exclusively by Vintessential Laboratories.
“When I met Simona at Simei in Milan in late 2019, I saw straight away that this device fills a real gap for wineries to use an easy and low-cost method of Brett detection. With the backup support of our labs to do more quantitative testing if needed, this is a ground-breaking way for winemakers to manage Brettanomyces” Greg Howell, Managing Director of Vintessential.
