Permeabilty Study

The object of micro-controlled oxygenation is to obtain a wine more stable and with better features, both from the chemical point of view that sensorial one; to use closure systems with micro-permeability appropriated to the wine bottled allows to exalt its organoleptic properties.

The role of the closure is very important for a correct maintenance and refinement of wine in bottle and to avoid that:

• Be established an environment extremely reducing;
• There are reactions of oxidation and premature aging of the product;
• There are unpleasant releases of substances

The closure systems actually presented in the market offer to producer a permeability that can’t be chosen from the winery according to the specific needs of the bottled wine: the permeability of the closure is sustained.

The closure system KORKED™ is the first screw cap that through a membrane allows to pre-determine the desired permeability to gases

In the chart below is highlighted, in relation to the permeability, the positioning of the closures KORKED™ in the areas of aging and maintenance compared to the main closures present in the market.
