Thermovinification system for red wine production

Optimize your vinification process with a complete thermovinification system that enhances anthocyanin and tannin extraction, enabling you to craft a diverse range of wines with superior color intensity and richness.

Enhances Extraction and Flavor in Wine Production

The Biothermo Cooler from Della Toffola is a complete thermovinification and flash extraction system uniquely designed for wineries aiming to maximize anthocyanin and tannin extraction in wine production. By combining rapid grape heating with instantaneous expansion under vacuum conditions, it enhances color and flavor while preparing the grape mass for efficient tannin release. This system features an integrated cooler unit for both flash treatment and traditional maceration, enabling versatile application across red, white, and rosé wines. Available in models handling up to 60 tons per hour, the Biothermo Cooler supports continuous, high-capacity processing and is easy to integrate with existing winery operations. Additionally, an optional chiller unit facilitates low-temperature macerations for producing fruity white and elegant rosé wines. The system’s energy efficiency is complemented by flexible automation features, ensuring minimal intervention and optimal production outcomes. Constructed for durability, it meets the demands of modern winemaking while maintaining effortless cleaning and maintenance processes.
