Fermentation
Oct/19/13 Wine
When the alcohol fermentation is complete the skins and seeds drop to the bottom of the tank, it's now time to drain off the free run wine, a very messy job.
After draining, the door is opened to start the really fun job of shovelling the pomace into the basket press
Looks like Lorenzo is having a great time filling the basket
After pressing (gently) the basket is taken outside to lift it off the giant muffin of pomace
Then load it onto the tractor for delivery to a local distillery to be made into Grappa (Brandy).
