Thermovinification system for red grapes
Enhance your red wine production by rapidly extracting rich color and flavor compounds through controlled thermovinification, optimizing both product quality and operational efficiency in a continuous cycle.

Processes Crushed Grapes for Optimized Color Extraction
The Biothermo Thermovinification System by Della Toffola revolutionizes red wine production through its efficient and automated process. Designed specifically for the wine industry, this system expertly conducts thermovinification, employing a three-stage process of heating, maceration, and rapid anthocyanin extraction. Ideal for producing Bordeaux-style red wines, Merlot, Shiraz, and more, the Biothermo processes between 1.5 to 60 tons of crushed grapes per hour. Operating in a continuous cycle, it reduces operating costs and integrates seamlessly into existing winery setups. Its energy-efficient immersion circuit and boiler ensures optimized thermal processing, preserving the intrinsic qualities of the grapes. With robust materials ensuring long-term resilience, this system is a reliable solution for wineries aiming to enhance the color and flavor profile of their young wines.
