During the twentieth-century technology has made
great strides in the field of the wine growing. Our company is
grown together with progress, adopting each time the most modern
technologies to optimise the resources and products.
1.
PREPARATION OF WINE FOR BOTTLING
Before the bottling, wine must be subjected to a
series of corrective treatments, which are meant to optimise its
alcoholic content, sourness, colour, clearness and firmness.
After several procedures such as
centrifugation, filtering, refrigeration and sweetening, we come
to the last step, which precedes the bottling: the
microfiltering. It is used to stabilize the product from a
microbiological point of view.
It is already over one year since Tombacco
Winery started to treat the whole production of wine with the
tangential microfiltering, which facilitates the process of
clarification and makes it more precise and reliable. This
process not only corrects the clearness and firmness of wine,
but it enables also to reduce the production rejects, to shorten
and simplify the production process and, most of all, to
maintain an unchanged quality standard of the produced wine as
time go by.

THE BOTTLING
The bottling is the final step of the production and
it is at least as important as wine making or the rest of wine
in barrels.
We must take care of many different aspects during the bottling
to avoid unfortunate unexpected events such as refermentation or
the explosion of bottles.
The oxidation process of wine goes on also during the bottling
and not only during the rest in barrels. Therefore it is
important not to let too much air enter the bottles to limit the
takeover of oxygen. After the decanting of wine bottles must be
immediately corked. |
