FULLY REFURBISHED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS
These original 35 hL oak fermentation vats from Mastro Bottaio were handcrafted in Italy from premium European oak. After many years of professional service, each vat has been completely refurbished by experienced master coopers and is now in outstanding technical and cosmetic condition.
Built with 55 mm thick oak staves and equipped with premium stainless steel fittings, these wooden vats combine traditional Italian cooperage with the requirements of modern production facilities. They are ready for immediate use and are ideally suited for the fermentation and processing of premium products in wineries, distilleries, breweries, cideries, and other producers of fermented beverages.
COMPLETE REFURBISHMENT BY EXPERIENCED MASTER COOPERS
As part of the comprehensive restoration process, all interior surfaces have been carefully re-planed to remove residues, deposits, and the worn wood layer, exposing fresh, clean European oak. This creates optimal hygienic conditions for renewed use and provides the ideal environment for controlled fermentation and product maturation.
The exterior has then been completely sanded, restoring the oak's natural appearance and giving each vat a premium, well-maintained finish. Finally, all hoops, structural components, and seals are thoroughly inspected to ensure every vat meets the demanding standards of professional production environments.
The result is a fully refurbished oak fermentation vat offering exceptional hygiene, durability, functionality, and long-term reliability.
EUROPEAN OAK FOR CONTROLLED FERMENTATION
Constructed with 55 mm thick European oak staves, these vats provide outstanding thermal stability while allowing the wood's natural breathability to promote gentle micro-oxygenation. These characteristics create ideal conditions for controlled fermentation and the production of beverages with exceptional complexity and balance.
The traditional wooden construction enables gentle processing of a wide range of raw materials while encouraging the development of complex aromas, refined structure, and excellent product character. Whether producing premium red or white wines, specialty beers, fermented mashes for distillation, or craft cider, these versatile oak vats are designed for demanding professional producers.
PREMIUM STAINLESS STEEL EQUIPMENT INCLUDED
Each vat is supplied with a comprehensive range of premium stainless steel equipment, including a stainless steel access door, a stainless steel top manway, a stainless steel clear outlet with ball valve, a stainless steel bottom outlet with ball valve, a stainless steel sampling valve, an integrated thermometer, an integrated cooling plate, and a heavy-duty wooden vat cradle.
This professional specification combines the proven advantages of traditional oak vats with modern cellar and process technology, providing precise temperature control, convenient operation, and outstanding hygienic standards throughout the entire fermentation process.
CUSTOMISED TO MATCH YOUR PRODUCTION FACILITY
To ensure seamless integration into your existing production process, the clear and bottom outlet connections are individually configured to match your preferred connection standard.
