Micro Agglomerated 44 1+1
// STILL WINES
CORK STOPPER //
This cork closure combines micro-agglomerated individual molding technology with the unique qualities of natural cork. Two natural cork disks are glued to opposite ends of a micro-agglomerated body, imparting the special characteristics of natural cork to a body that already possesses excellent mechanical and physical properties on its own.
All the cork used in the manufacture of this cork closure comes from our own raw materials and is monitored and analyzed throughout the entire production process. In addition, all the granules used to produce the micro-agglomerated body undergo the MaxClean System for sterilization and deodorization, giving these cork closures exceptional sensory qualities.

Cork closures should be used within six months of shipping;
Cork is sensitive to temperature, humidity, and odors, so it should be stored in a dry, secure place:
- clean, aired, and odor-free; with a constant temperature between 15º and 25ºC;
- with a relative humidity between 50 to 65% (more than 65%, there is the risk of an irreversible microbiological change).
-
Use standard bottles;
Check the bottling equipment periodically for cleanliness and functionality;
The ambient temperature at the time of bottling should be between 15ºC and 20ºC.
The vacuum bottling system or under CO2 is the most recommended method;
Respect the recommended filling level of your bottle;
Clean the bottling machine and corker jaws before and after bottling;
Do not compress the cork below 2/3 of its diameter. Excessive compression can cause deterioration of the cork cells, and consequently harm its elasticity and sealing capacity;
The cork stopper should be aligned with the top of the bottle ± 0.5 mm;
Always leave bottles standing vertically for at least 3 minutes after bottling, to enable the dimensional recovery of the cork against the bottleneck, and thus ensure effective sealing;
Storage and transportation of wine products under regulatory rules.
