At Defranceschi, innovation means blending tradition with cutting edge design. Our latest advancement reimagines one of the winemaker’s most trusted tools: the barrel. By combining Defranceschi’s expertise in enology with SACMI’s experience in ceramic and technological engineering, we’ve developed a ceramic barrel head that offers greater precision and control in the aging process. This collaboration was recognized at the SIMEI trade show in Milan, where Defranceschi received a top technical innovation award for this breakthrough.Defranceschi Turns Barrels on their Heads with New Ceramic Feature
