IMPROVED SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING WINES

摘要

System for producing wines, in particular for maintaining the inert condition of products in the solid or liquid state in a relationship of minimum contact with the air, in order to prevent oxidative processes that spoil the quality of the resulting wine. It comprises means (1) for directly receiving the grape harvest at the gathering point and maintaining the product under chilled conditions and under an inert atmosphere; a reservoir (11) divided, on the inside, into two superposed bodies (11a, 11b), the maceration stage taking place in the upper body (11a) and the fermentation stage in the lower body (11b); means for recovering the CO2 gas generated in the reservoir during the fermentation stage, in order for it to be stored and re-used; a phase-separation device (13), which can be positioned removably inside the reservoir (11); and a press device equipped with means for fixing in the selected position.
