Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document introduces the Gimar Selector System®, a state-of-the-art technology in winemaking that merges traditional methods with modern innovations to improve the maceration process in red wine production. Maceration is essential for developing the wine's color, aroma, and structure.

Maceration Process
Maceration involves extracting substances from grape solids into the must through diffusion and chemical reactions. The enologist's role is to manage these processes to extract desirable qualities from the grapes.

Gimar's Approach
Gimar has been a leader in winemaking technology for over 30 years, emphasizing quality and innovation. Their Selector System® combines advanced research with traditional methods to produce high-quality wines.

Selector System® Features

Patented Technology: Incorporates eight patents as the system's technological foundation.
Vinification Objectives: Ensures intimate contact between must and grape skins, breaks up pomace, controls oxygen supply, manages temperature, and homogenizes concentrations.
Advanced Control: Features a control panel and DIGIWINE electronic card for remote operation and recipe-based maceration cycles.
Efficient Extraction: Utilizes cascade pumping over and MULTISTEEP methods to enhance polyphenol and aroma extraction.
Oxygen Management: OXYCONTROL and OXYPLUS functions stabilize coloring substances and polyphenol content.
Temperature Regulation: THERMOSOFT function ensures gradual heating and cooling.
Density Monitoring: DENSIMATIC system measures must density to monitor fermentation progress.
Easy Maintenance: CLEANMATIC system facilitates sanitation, and EXTRACTOR aids in residue discharge.

Conclusion
The Gimar Selector System® represents a significant advancement in winemaking, offering a blend of tradition and technology to produce superior red wines. Its innovative features and precise control mechanisms ensure optimal extraction and fermentation, contributing to the creation of high-quality wines.

Overview of OXYPLUS System
The OXYPLUS system enhances the fermentation process by providing controlled oxygenation to the must beneath the pomace cap. This system allows enologists to program recirculation cycles to modulate oxygen supply, crucial for different grape varieties and vinification phases. It ensures yeast vitality and prevents fermentation stoppages due to oxygen shortages.

Benefits of Controlled Oxygenation

Facilitates smooth alcoholic fermentation by supporting yeast metabolism.
Enhances color stability and extraction by promoting tannin and anthocyanin condensation.
Improves wine balance and aroma intensity by aiding polyphenol and polysaccharide interactions.
Prevents reductive phenomena, especially in grapes prone to reduction like Dolcetto and Syrah.

THERMOSOFT Temperature Control
THERMOSOFT is a patented software that allows gradual temperature adjustments during vinification. It ensures precise temperature control, preventing thermal shock to yeasts and optimizing phenolic compound extraction.

DENSIMATIC System
The DENSIMATIC system continuously monitors must density, providing real-time data on fermentation progress. This allows for timely adjustments to maintain optimal vinification conditions.

PUMP-OVER PUMP Features
The PUMP-OVER PUMP is designed for efficient liquid transfer with minimal mechanical stress on solids, reducing lees production and preventing clogging. It ensures effective oxygenation during pumping over and recirculation phases.

DIGIWINE Control System
DIGIWINE is an electronic control system for managing the vinification process. It allows for easy programming and monitoring of the Selector vinifier, ensuring flexible and reliable operation.

VINISUPERVISION System
VINISUPERVISION provides centralized management of wine storage and processing, ensuring traceability and optimizing winery operations. It allows remote monitoring and control, enhancing efficiency and product quality.

Conclusion
The integration of systems like OXYPLUS, THERMOSOFT, DENSIMATIC, and VINISUPERVISION in the vinification process offers significant advantages in terms of control, efficiency, and quality of the final wine product.

Vinification Monitoring and Control
The VINISUPERVISION system allows for real-time monitoring and control of the vinification process, from loading crushed grapes to the final cleaning of the machine. It enables remote programming and adjustment of process variables for each vinifier, using protocols or recipes tailored to specific grape types and desired wine outcomes. Historical records of maceration cycles are stored for traceability and can be reused as models for future processes.

Cleaning and Hygiene
The CLEANMATIC system automates the cleaning of vinifiers, using a rotary washing head to ensure thorough sanitation without manual intervention. This system maintains ideal cleanliness and hygiene, crucial for high-quality wine production, especially during busy harvest periods.

Wine Refinement
The ELIMATIC system refines wine by recirculating it through a distributor with a rotating arm, mixing and oxygenating the wine while suspending lees. This process enhances the wine's stability, aroma, and flavor, reducing astringency and stabilizing color in red wines.

Pomace Extraction
The mechanical EXTRACTOR automates the discharge of pomace after fermentation, reducing manual labor and allowing operators to focus on other tasks. It is designed to handle compacted residues from lengthy maceration processes.

Maceration is one of the most important and delicate stages in the preparation of red wines and a crucial moment in the whole production process. The chromatic and sensory features of a red wine, its structure and harmonious composition all begin to take shape during this particular stage. The numerous components that have a role in winemaking are variously distributed in the grape and the most important are contained in the solids (the grape skins and pips). It takes a complicated extraction process to transfer the substances contained in the grape into the liquid phase - the must - and make...

1_The polyphenols and aromatic substances contained in the pomace dissolve more readily if the liquid inside the cap is continuously recirculated. The concentration of the polyphenol compounds in the liquid phase in which the cap is steeped gradually increases and tends to reach a saturation point so the transfer of the compounds that you want to draw from the grape skins into the liquid tends to gradually slow down, and even stop altogether. By using a CASCADE PUMPING OVER method, the saturated liquid is effectively replaced with other, less concentrated liquid drawn from the lower part of the...

tank to the upper tank. The must builds up inside the upper tank while the central pneumatic plate valve is kept closed, until the tank is more or less full (depending on the settings used to establish the intensity of the cascade effect). With the subsequent automatic opening of the valve, the must that has accumulated in the top tank is discharged and falls back into the bottom tank. The flow rate of the must being discharged is very high, generating a powerful jet of PUMPING OVER PHASES Multisteep is a system patented by Gimar for controlling the opening and closing of the central plate valve...
