Sonoma, CA — December 4th  Ganau unveils today a major advancement for the growing U.S. market: EPIQ+, the world’s first natural solid cork guaranteed at ≤0.3 ng/L of releasable 2,4,6-Trichloroanisole (TCA) — the lowest threshold ever achieved for natural solid corks. This advancement builds on Ganau’s use of high-resolution Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry, the most sensitive, precise, and scientifically validated cork-screening technology available. With continuous internal calibration, five independent channels of identification, and sensitivity up to 10× greater than conventional, widely used gas chromatography, the EPIQ system ensures unmatched accuracy and reliability even at the lowest concentrations. EPIQ corks are also monitored for other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and follow a rigorous density selection, improving both neutrality and homogeneity. “Reaching such a level of precision represents a transformative step for natura

Tapì, a global leader in closures for premium, super-premium, and luxury spirits, and Ganau, a renowned Italian producer of high-end wine corks, are proud to announce that Ganau joins the Tapì Group. Together, they are poised to make a significant impact in the industry by offering a comprehensive range of high-end sustainable closures. The integration of Ganau into the Tapì Group creates a synergy that will enable both companies to offer a comprehensive range of closure solutions and to better serve an increasing demand for innovation, quality, and superior service across the wine and spirits sectors. Tapì will be incorporating Ganau’s high-end natural and micro-agglomerated cork stoppers into their closure offerings while Ganau will gain access to Tapì’s extensive international network, facilitating global expansion and broadening their customer reach. Ganau’s decades-long experience in cork closure production has established the

Ganau Launches EPIQ Corks with threshold of ≤0.5 ng/L TCA backed by peer-reviewed science Ganau reveals EPIQ, a natural cork with threshold of ≤0.5 ng/L 2,4,6-Trichloroanisole (TCA) that uses a scientifically verified technology with a sensitivity rate at least five times higher than other methods. The technology -- Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer -- screens every individual cork within three seconds and it has been verified by the Analytical Chemistry (1), a peer-reviewed publication of the American Chemistry Society. In 2018, Ganau partnered with Switzerland-based Tofwerk, a global leader in time-of-flight (TOF) Mass Spectrometry, to adopt the VOCUS® technology, a cutting-edge chemical ionization combined with high resolution time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. Versions of this instrument are successfully used by NASA and CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research). In a first-of-its-kind breakthrough, VOCUS® shows a linear correlation with the sta
