BOLLICINA
Rotary pressure vessel Bollicina®:
innovation in sparkling winemaking
The Bollicina® rotary pressure vessel represents one of the most advanced results of our research and development.
This patented system, awarded at Enomaq 2025 in Zaragoza and Rive 2025, introduces a new approach to sparkling wine production. It is recognized as a third method of sparkling winemaking, combining the strengths of the Traditional Method (Champenoise) and the Martinotti/Charmat method.
The new pressure vessel for sparkling wine
With Bollicina®, we have developed a technology that produces high-quality sparkling wines with refined characteristics, close to those obtained with Champenoise methods, while maintaining the flexibility of the Charmat process.
At the core of this rotary pressure vessel there is the controlled rotation of the tank, which creates an effect similar to remuage during processing. This movement improves lees management and helps develop more complex and structured aromatic profiles. The same system can also be used for still white wines, allowing controlled bâtonnage cycles that enhance structure, body, and aromatic complexity.
Rotary pressure vessel for flexible winemaking
The Bollicina® rotary pressure vessel can also operate as a standard horizontal autoclave, maintaining all traditional functionalities. At the same time, it offers programmable rotation cycles that can be fully customized according to the desired wine style.
All processes are managed through our intuitive software, allowing precise control and monitoring of each phase of secondary fermentation under pressure.
Rotary autoclave for small and big wineries
Bollicina® is designed to operate up to 6 bar of pressure and it’s available in capacities from 15 to 300 hl, making it suitable for both small and large production facilities
This rotary pressure tank is an innovative solution for winemakers who want to enhance their sparkling wines with new technical and expressive possibilities.
