After two days of complete maceration of the grape juice with the skins, here we are again documenting a fundamental phase for the production of Trebbiano Spoletino by Colle Uncinano. As you can see from the video, the cold skins are conveyed with a special slide into the pressing machine which automatically turns and periodically swells an internal membrane. This process allows you to exert a soft pressing of the skins and the grape juice that comes out of the holes is deposited on a tank placed under the machine and brought back with a pump inside the tank. Finally, the refrigerated tank keeps the temperature low even during alcoholic fermentation.
