Thermovinification system for red wine production
In the winemaking industry, achieving thorough color extraction and enhancing tannin release from crushed grapes is essential for producing high-quality red wines. Conventional methods can limit efficiency and consistency, presenting challenges for winemakers seeking to optimize their processes.
Enhance color and tannin extraction with thermovinification
The Biothermo Cooler by Della Toffola (Omnia Technologies) is a comprehensive thermovinification system. It incorporates the Biothermo method with an advanced cooler unit to achieve flash extraction. The system includes a storage tank, an immersed heating circuit with a boiler, and a cooler unit capable of both flash treatment and traditional maceration. Key phases involve the rapid heating and subsequent vacuum-induced expansion of crushed grapes, breaking down cell membranes to release more anthocyanins and noble tannins. This results in enhanced extraction during vinification, suitable for a variety of red wines, from young and fruity to rich and structurally complex types. Additionally, the system can integrate a chiller unit for conducting cold macerations, ideal for producing elegant fruity white and rosé wines. With capacities ranging from 1.5 to 60 tons/hour, it is easily adaptable to existing winery setups.
