YT Wine: Technological Innovation in Winemaking
Innovation in Wine Sulfitation
We present YT Wine, an innovative system for the application of pure gaseous sulfur dioxide (SO2), specifically designed for the preservation of wine in barrels. This automatic system stands out for its ability to facilitate and control the dosing of SO2 in a precise and safe manner, eliminating the need for manual preparation of sulfite solutions and significantly reducing the operator’s exposure to gases. Ideal for both small wineries and large producers, YT Wine ensures that each barrel receives the exact amount of necessary SO2, which is essential to maintain the quality and longevity of the wine.
Application Techniques
YT Wine offers various application techniques tailored to different sulfitation needs, always guaranteeing maximum efficiency and precision. Below, we present a comparative table highlighting the two main application techniques and how they adapt to different usage contexts.
Full Barrel:
- With Agitation: Ideal for uniformly mixing the wine and its precipitates, ensuring a homogeneous distribution of SO2.
- Without Agitation: Perfect for gentler applications that do not alter the structure of the wine, avoiding the agitation of its precipitates (lees).
Empty Barrel:
- Ensures complete interior coverage, ideal for preparing barrels before filling, without ash deposits.

Benefits of Automation and Traceability
The automation of YT Wine radically transforms the sulfitation process, making it safer and more efficient. By automating the dosing of SO2, human errors are minimized, and unprecedented precision is ensured in each application. Next, we explore how the integrated traceability in YT Wine not only facilitates quality management but also strengthens regulatory compliance and data-driven decision-making.
