CORK AND WINE
Cork and wine were really made for one another.
Any time you share a glass of wine or when you open a bottle, there is a reunion ritual, sealed by a cork in which time and confidence have been invested and that crowns the perfect communion between the sophisticated creation of man and the natural gift of the cork oak.
The excellent physical and chemical properties of cork stoppers not only help store the wine, but they also let it continue to develop inside the bottle.
Cork stoppers bring out the character and nobility of each wine, improving their perception as a high-quality product.
For a good life inside the bottle
The Origin
The dedication we put into each bottle stopper we make, is the same as every producer puts into their wine.
Since we first began, wine stoppers, we have always been driven by our passion for wine and wine stoppers as they ensure the final quality of the wine, the winemakers’ work and all the wine industry.
