Galileo rotating tanks:
extraction through movement
360° sphere rotation to stir the lees without opening the tank, without a pump, without oxygen exposure. Two volumes available.
Options : Sterile bung (maturation only), epoxy intern liner, other valve, needle thermometer, concrete customized logo
Thermoregulation : coils set into the concrete mass + scabbard for PT100 temperature probe. Heat exchange surface 6.47 m². Racking valve included.

Why rotation
changes the game
Full sphere rotation delivers even lees resuspension throughout the tank. It replaces punch-downs, pump-overs and manual lees stirring (bâtonnage).
No need to open the tank. No pump. The wine’s exposure to oxygen is kept to a minimum.
Greater richness, greater volume, without sacrificing tension. Rotation amplifies the natural release of mannoproteins and polysaccharides from the lees.

The fixed tanks G8, G15 and G30 deliver the same thermal properties and micro-oxygenation characteristics, in a static format.
