Innovative Filtration System Maximizes Juice Recovery to more than 90% DELLA TOFFOLA’s high-solids, cross-flow filter system with ceramic membranes – known as OMNIA – is making big waves throughout the U.S. wine industry – and for good reason.

The OMNIA series provide an exceptional juice recovery rate from lees with final concentrations of more than 90 percent. The filters not only separate wine from wine lees, but also provide clean juice from floated solids and extract quality juice from cold, settled juice lees.

According to Giacomo Della Toffola, grandson of the company’s founding father and Production Supervisor of Research & Development, the system provides a superior technology with unparalleled longevity.

“Ceramics are capable of a longer life; they never die,” Della Toffola asserts. “It’s like buying a diamond. They last forever.”

Della Toffola points out that one of the many benefits of the OMNIA is the system’s ability to extract clean, high quality product from material other filters leave behind.

“With many other systems, like drum filters or DE (diatomaceous earth) there are leftovers from the wine in the material. There’s still a lot of wine there, and that’s a loss of money. We’ve found a real solution. We can end up with 95% of the solids coming out, depending on the nature of the solids.“

Della Toffola is also the manufacturer of a biothermal cooler system (BTC) that utilizes Thermoflash technology to remove microbes from grapes by neutralizing bacteria. The system works by rapidly heating must and then cooling it instantaneously in a vacuum chamber. It can be extremely beneficial for color extraction and flavor enhancement, especially for grapes set back by recent rains.

The Della Toffola legacy dates back to the 1960’s in Italy, when the family began designing and manufacturing winemaking equipment. Today, with more than 50 years of experience, the company operates eight manufacturing plants with eight different brand offices throughout the world, including the U.S., France, Chile, Argentina, Spain, Australia, Brazil and Mexico. Della Toffola USA was established in 2009. With offices located in Windsor, CA, the company prides itself on its manufacturing and technical expertise, serving wineries of all sizes.

“We work with 2 or 3 thousand case facilities as well as those who produce up to a million,” Giacomo states. “We’re proud of our range. Even though we’re one of the largest winery equipment providers in the world, we started small. That’s where we made our name. We owe that to people, to smaller wineries, to stay true.”

Giacomo says the first OMNIA landed in the U.S. about a month ago. He and his team are currently in Texas, where the 2014 harvest started several weeks ago, offering full technical support to those eager to learn how to use the new system, which is now available for trials and for sale.

“One of the main reasons I’m here right now (from Italy) is to share information about OMNIA,” Giacomo says. “I’m here for the vinification and to share knowledge.”

Dr Richard Smart, Australian viticulturalist and leading global consultant on viticulture methods, returns to California. Tuesday, July 2nd (10AM- Noon) speaking on DTMA, a new tool to accelerate maceration and extraction!

Dr. Smart has partnered with Della Toffola to develop DTMA, a technology that accelerates and increases extraction of color and skin tannin.

This process, which he has named ACE (Accentuated Cut Edges), cuts grape skins into smaller fragments, thereby leading to faster and greater extraction.

The technology has been the subject of several research papers and will be available for trial in California for the first time this harvest.

Come hear Dr. Smart speak about this innovative process at the Della Toffola offices, Santa Rosa, CA from 10am -12noon on July 2nd.

RSVP to 707-544-5300

DELLA TOFFOLA, a leader in the design and manufacturing of equipment for the wine and beverage industry for North American and across the world, has developed an exciting new technology that reduces the maceration time of grapes up to 50 percent, while also enhancing the extraction of polyphenols and anthocyanins.

The DELLA TOFFOLA Maceration Accelerator (DTMA), works by reducing the dimensions of the crushed grape skins, thereby increasing the surface area of the film in contact with the must.

The cutting-edge DTMA process speeds up maceration, which then activates the pressing stage and greatly improves the extraction of polyphenols and anthocyanins from the grapes, strengthening the overall sensory characteristics in the wine.

“Within our machine, there’s a centrifugal pump, flow meter and blade system that fragments the skins of the grapes without damaging the seeds,” explains Ken Kosmicki, DELLA TOFFOLA USA Project Manager. “We want to extract the phenolic compounds from the skins, not the seeds, in order to improve pigmentation, flavor and mouth feel. And because maceration time is reduced by up to 50 percent, fermentation tanks can be turned over more quickly.”

The DTMA receives grapes from the destemmer; processes them and the resulting juice and must are transferred directly into tanks. Flow rates during the DTMA process are aligned precisely with the speed of the client’s pump in order to maximize proficiency.

Kosmicki, who reports that the DTMA has been successfully tested in Italy, France and Australia on different grape varieties in a number of wineries, emphasizes that one of the best parts of this new, highly effective DTMA technology is ease of use.

“There are just two parameters,” Kosmicki confirms. “All the operator has to do is enter the flow rates on the touch screen and hit start.”

Della Toffola Group presented its new CFKF Series ceramic membrane crossflow filters at the 2013 SIMEI Show. Already widely adopted during traditional filtration thanks to their strength, durability, reliability, and sanitization capacity, ceramic membranes are now being applied  more and more in lees separating filters as well.

The need to filter these products and recover as much product as possible has been assuming greater and greater importance, especially when the product processed vaunts high value. These new filter models are the only ones capable of achieving a final concentration of more than 90%.

CFKF Series filters are designed and constructed to efficiently process  lees from grape must, cider, floatation caps, and other beverages. In particular regard to winemaking, they permit the filtration of:

• Grape lees after fermentation

• Grape lees after clarification

• Clarified wines

• Non-clarified wines

The use of ceramic membranes overcomes practically every difficulty that arises during lees filtration while constantly ensuring unequalled product recovery.

Call 707-544-5300 to learn more.

DELLA TOFFOLA is a familiar and well-respected supplier within the wine and beverage industry world-wide. In business since the 1960s, DELLA TOFFOLA designs and manufactures high-quality equipment for wine processing, filtration and packaging and has grown from it’s modest Italian roots to eight manufacturing plants and branch offices across six continents, including DELLA TOFFOLA USA, based in California. DELLA TOFFOLA has been responsible for introducing several innovations over the years including the first vertical stainless steel press, the central membrane press, their widely popular ceramic membrane filtration system and now the Biothermo Cooler Vinification System, their version of a Thermoflash.

Although the original technology has been around Europe for a decade or two, the process, offered by DELLA TOFFOLA, is finally taking hold in the U.S. Thermoflash, known widely in Europe as “flash détente”, is a process of thermovinification created during the 1990’s in France. It works by heating the must of crushed grapes to a set temperature (usually around 185°F/85°C) then sending the hot grapes to a high vacuum chamber where temperature drops quickly causeing some of the liquid in the must to “flash” into steam. The rapid expansion of steam causes the cell walls of the vacuoles in the skins to break open allowing immediate color and tannin extraction while also releasing aromatic compounds. The evaporated water is then put through a condenser and remains as a separate byproduct or gets added back to the must later for fermentation.

The process of flash extraction allows wineries many different processing options and can be used in conjunction with traditional winemaking methods. Initially, European winemakers used it save time by immediately pressing the flashed fruit, thereby allowing red grapes to be fermented like whites. It was also used for under-ripe grapes or to remove the mold characteristics during a tough harvest. This so called “liquid phase” method of using Flash is less common in California as many winemakers prefer to ferment on the skins, if only for a day or two. This leads to more traditional flavor and greater color stability.

Della Toffola is the main manufacturer of the equipment that performs ThermoFlash. Their Biothermo Cooler Thermovinification System is a top of the line piece of equipment. There are about 50 units worldwide with most of them being in Europe, but this technology is starting to take hold in the new world. North America has around a dozen units across California, Virginia, Texas and Michigan with Californian winemakers pushing the boundaries on what they can do with this technology.

“The Thermoflash process gives winemakers another tool to craft style” says Rick Jones, a winemaking consultant for DELLA TOFFOLA and well-known winemaker and innovator in the industry. “It gives greater and more stable wine color, removes vegetal or other unwanted grape aromas, lifts overall fruit expression and generally opens new avenues for making wine. Most wineries use it to help remove vegetal characteristics or help with color and tannin extraction, but new uses have been found such as barrel fermenting of reds, co-fermenting with traditional fruit or to mitigate unwanted aromas that you couldn’t previously remove, like smoke taint, for instance.”

Smoke taint is obviously an important concern considering the wildfires in California. Winemakers have also removed other unwanted air borne aromas from grapes (e.g. diesel exhaust, eucalyptus). One winemaker coined this ‘airoir’. The removal of unfavorable aromatics works great in the new world where regulations allow for the removal of the water byproduct which contains all the unwanted aromatics that are absorbed in the skins of the grapes.

“I think this technology has only seen the beginning of influencing winemaking styles,” remarks Jones. “The true test is getting these winemakers to maximize the use of the technology and figuring out what it can really do for their wine quality and finished product.”

DELLA TOFFOLA will be in attendance at the UNIFIED Wine & Grape Symposium (BOOTH #1028), January 24th and 25th in Sacramento. Come along and find out how DELLA TOFFOLA equipment can meet the needs of your winery today.

For more information on Thermoflash, Rick Jones will present “The Evolution and Quality Impact of Flash Détente for Eastern Winemakers” at U.S. Wine & Beverage Industry Expo (USBevX) on Wednesday, February 21st in Washington D.C.

Ionic Exchange Resins Key to Innovative DTX System for Tartaric Stabilization and pH Adjustment!

The actions of ionic exchange resins play a key role in the innovative DTX  system developed by Della Toffola USA that has revolutionized Tartaric Stabilization and pH Adjustment for winemakers around the globe.

Since 1960, Della Toffola has been a world leader in the design and implementation of technologically advanced solutions for the wine industry.

The DTX-20 system is one of the company’s latest developments to assist winemakers with their post fermentation processes that can often compromise the chemistry and sensory characteristics of the wine.

“The resin inside the machine is positively charged using sulfuric acid,” explains Emanuele Fiorentini, a Sales Representative for Della Toffola USA. “The ionic exchange traps potassium, calcium and magnesium and releases hydrogen at the same time.”

The goal, Fiorentini says, is tartaric stability of the wine/grape must in relation to potassium tartrate and other calcium salts.

The DTX system is completely automated, consisting of two stainless steel tanks filled with resin, a small centrifugal pump, flow meters, pressure sensors, temperature sensors and pH meters that are set up controlled by a touch screen.

According to Fiorentini, the wine flows gently throughout the system, facilitated by the centrifugal pump. He says the real beauty of the process is the immediate time, expense and energy savings it generates for system operators.

“You can literally set up the machine within minutes, process quickly a small amount of wine so you can analyze possible proportions needed treatment, and then push the start button, walk away and go about your daily winemaking tasks,” confirms Fiorentini. “Within a set amount of processing time or when there is a depleted charge of the resin inside one of the two onboard canisters, the system will automatically switch to the other canister.”

Fiorentini says the results have been no less than astonishing.

Mariangela Guarienti, CEO of Della Toffola USA, agrees “The aromas and fruity compounds are lifted, the color of the wine becomes more vibrant,” she says. “The mouth feel has changed; total acidity is increased, tannic interaction is improved. There is more pronounced minerality.”

Guarienti points out that the DTX system can accomplish in hours what usually takes weeks for glycol cold jacket stabilization for white wines. For red wines, she notes, eliminating the need for tartaric acid addition reduces costs.

The DTX system comes in model sizes 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 to accommodate all levels of wine production needs and Guarienti is delighted to announce that a trial DTX machine will be available in California from September, 2017.

DELLA TOFFOLA USA opened its doors in 2009 and has quickly established itself as a prominent player in the industry, providing high-quality, reliable, innovative machines as well as outstanding after sales service. Della Toffola offers a wide range of equipment solutions for the entire winemaking process from grape receiving to bottling.

Emanuele Fiorentini is a Sales Representative for DELLA TOFFOLA in the central coast as well as being the owner and operator of IPak Wine, a Mobile Service Provider of Della Toffola Crossflow Filtration and Tartaric Stabilization solutions in Southern California and Washington state.

A common perception is that ‘Flash-Detente’, or Bio-Thermocooler Vinification – is a new method of extracting flavor and color from grapes. The truth is flash units have been widely used in Europe, South America and Australia for many years although the technology is relatively new in the U.S. 

DELLA TOFFOLA has actually been offering Thermovinification technology for the last two decades, with over 50 installations in operation in wineries across the world, including seven in the United States.

The DELLA TOFFOLA ‘BioThermo’ system is a trusted enological treatment that aids in the extraction of color (anthocyanins), the extraction of tannin and other elements in order to promote structure, the extraction of varietal aroma and to ensure the maximum stability of these extracts. To achieve these goals quickly and continuously, the system works by the rapid heating and instantaneous expansion of the grapes in a high vacuum. The advantages of the system are:

• it makes use of the high temperatures to inhibit enzymes (polyphenoloxidases, laccases);
  
  
• it makes the cell walls fragile and thus facilitates and speeds up the diffusion of the macromolecules, such as anthocyanins, responsible for color tannins, responsible for structure volatile compounds, aromas and their precursors;
  
  
• the crushed grapes are cooled immediately; and
  
  
• this procedure also enables the user, should they desire,  to increase the use of fermenters, reducing considerably maceration times.
  
  

With a commitment to ongoing innovation and R&D, DELLA TOFFOLA recently released their second generation ‘ThermoCooler’ equipment, the multi-purpose ‘Biothermo-Cooler’.  Della Toffola’s Biothermo Cooler is a complete system that combines the classical thermovinification treatment of the first generation Bio-Cooler with the opportunity to instantaneously ‘flash’ the heated crushed grapes within a vacuum chamber.  This induces a rupture of the cell membranes that consequently tend to release far more anthocyanins and tannins. The BioThermo Cooler system is capable of regulating the temperature from +95 to -1°C while maintaining the utmost respect for the grapes and keeping operating costs down with a single Biothermo-Chiller unit that suffices for both thermo vinification, Flash and must freezing purposes.  It can be extremely beneficial for color extraction and flavor enhancement, especially for grapes set back by recent rains.

The BioThermo Cooler is available in models with capacities from 1.5 to 38 tons/hour, and is easy to integrate and adapt to existing wineries and systems.

Lorenzo Forbice, Innovation Project Manager / Della Toffola USA   

Wine is as much a visual experience as it is about taste and aroma. The color of a wine plays an important role in shaping consumer perceptions, influencing purchasing decisions, and defining quality standards. In today’s evolving wine industry, color management is more critical than ever. Here are five key trends shaping the way winemakers approach wine color in 2025 and beyond.

1. Consumer Expectations: The Color of Quality

When it comes to red wine, consumers have a deeply ingrained expectation of what the color should look like. From vibrant ruby hues in youthful reds to deep garnet tones in aged wines, color is often associated with quality. Whether purchasing a high-end bottle or an everyday table wine, consumers instinctively assess the color before taking their first sip. For winemakers, ensuring a wine’s color aligns with these expectations is key to maintaining brand trust and market appeal.

2. Varietal Typicity: Color Must Match Variety and Region

Wine drinkers don’t just want to taste and smell terroir—they want to see it. A Pinot Noir from Burgundy should not have the same depth of color as a Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa. The ability to maintain varietal typicity through precise color management helps reinforce authenticity and meets consumer expectations. As winemakers continue to refine techniques, color stability and vibrancy are becoming integral to maintaining regional and varietal identity.

3. Trading Up: Premiumization in Wine Consumption

Global wine consumption is shifting. While consumers may be drinking less wine overall, they are spending more on higher-quality, premium wines. With this shift, expectations around quality indicators - including color, are rising. A well-balanced, naturally rich color signals premium craftsmanship, making it crucial for winemakers to optimize phenolic extraction and stabilization to meet these higher expectations.

4. Climate Change: A Growing Challenge for Wine Color

Rising temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns are impacting grape development, often resulting in less phenolic ripeness on the vine. This leads to wines with less stable color and potential quality concerns. As climate change continues to challenge viticulture, winemakers must adopt innovative color management solutions to maintain consistency and stability in their wines. Attention to extraction techniques, fermentation conditions, and innovative technologies will be key to mitigating these effects.

“Winemakers are facing unprecedented challenges due to climate change. Managing color stability is not just about aesthetics—it’s about preserving the wine’s integrity from vineyard to bottle.” Antonino Li Brizzi, CEO of Omnia Technologies USA

5. Ingredient Labeling: The Push for Transparency

Today’s consumers demand greater transparency in food and beverage labeling—including wine. With growing interest in ingredient disclosure, wineries are looking for ways to minimize the use of additives while preserving the integrity of their wines. Omnia Technologies’ color solutions provide a natural way to enhance and stabilize wine color, potentially reducing the need for additional additives and ensuring that winemakers meet consumer expectations for clean labeling.

Perfecting Wine Color with Omnia Technologies

As the wine industry navigates these evolving trends, the importance of color management continues to grow. Omnia Technologies offers advanced solutions to help winemakers achieve the perfect balance of stability, vibrancy, and authenticity in their wines.
