INNOVATIVE

EasyCork® ensures the best performance from a physical and mechanical point of view thanks to the perfect distribution of the grains used, achieved with the individually moulded body.

TCA FREE

Thanks to the excellent quality of the cork grains and the sanitisation treatments to which they are subjected, EasyCork® boasts great organoleptic neutrality and the absence of cork taint.

COST-EFFECTIVE

EasyCork® combines economic convenience with the use of advanced technology and the protection of the main characteristics of all wines.

The easiest way to protect your wine
EASYCORK® Raso

A latest-generation cork stopper, EasyCork® is the closure designed for wines destined for large-scale distribution. Capable of guaranteeing the absence of ‘cork taint’, EasyCork® retains great elastic memory, excellent seal and regular extraction over time.

EASYCORK® Spumante

Composed of a single agglomerated cork body, thanks to the perfect distribution of the cork grains used, EasyCork® Spumante ensures the best performance from a physical and mechanical point of view. The sterilisation treatments to which the raw material is subjected give EasyCork® Spumante organoleptic neutrality.

THE GENESIS® TREATMENT

Sugherificio Molinas has developed an innovative ‘steam current’ treatment, whereby the very fine grain of cork, selected from the best raw materials, is totally cleaned from the substances that give rise to the ‘cork taint’.

The treated microgranules are agglomerated in such a way as to obtain a cork stopper capable of providing maximum performance in every phase of its use. During the bottling step it releases neither dust nor fragments, just as it guarantees perfect corking and regular uncorking.

GENESIS® TREATMENT
A TECHNICAL EXPLANATION

This is an industrial process that operates on chemical-physical parameters with the aim to dynamize the volatile compounds, allowing their volatilization and elimination right into the heart of the cork, without alteration of the structural characteristics and without chemical residues (the analyses and tests carried out have shown that the characteristics of resistance to compression, elastic recovery, capillarity and absorption of cork stoppers with treated cork are perfectly maintained).

THE PROCESS IN DETAIL

Applied to ‘treated’ cork in which the dynamization of volatile compounds has been activated, the process performs a ‘soft distillation’ of these compounds, removing them without altering the mechanical and chemical-physical characteristics of the cork. The system is applied to all semi-finished and finished cork products (cork grain, washers and natural cork stoppers) with specific recipes for each product. Research and laboratory tests pointed out an average reduction in TCA content of 70% measured analytically on maceration extracts with the GM and confirmed by organoleptic assays. The incidence of cork taint is therefore reduced to negligible levels.
