FineCork® for Sparkling Wines
The FineCork® for sparkling wines is the result of the union between tradition and technology.
The cork grain treatment, made by steam stream, allows to reduce the releasable TCA under the perception threshold, without altering the elastic memory of the cork. The individual moulded body allows to get cork stoppers having physical-mechanical features similar to those of our best champagne cork stoppers , moulded with traditional cork grain. The gas sealing, the extraction force, the perfect elastic recovery: these are some of the reasons to choose FineCork® to seal sparkling wines and champagne.
