Historia

The Romans discovered that oak barrels were the best for wine transport. Oak wood is strong, yet flexible and easy to work. It is also waterproof and prevents the escape of liquid but allows the entry of oxygen, which is essential for the maturation of wine. Thanks to the oxygenation, a slow oxidation process begins that makes the wine acquire its aromas, colours and flavours, characteristics of ageing. The wood softens the texture of the wine and stabilizes it. The polymerization that occurs during maturation can soften tannins and polyphenols that can be found in the skin of the grapes. The timber also provides new colours, giving pigments. Other elements, such as lignin, add flavours. Maturation in a barrel also allows the wine to have a longer life in the bottle.

The barrels are one of the most important but also the most expensive in the production of wine. Their life expectancy is only 3 to 5 years. Formerly the winemakers made their own barrels by hand, today most are bought.

More than two thousand years later we are optimizing resources and finding innovative manners to treat the wine and spirits by creating a "in bottle" maturation system which combines an innovative closure with the development of a detailed polymerization analysis of wine inside the bottle. Adaptation of this system in the winemaking process achieved extremely positive results in various fields: innovation, economic, environment and educational. Thanks to these revolutionary results it creates a synergy between the winemaker and the consumer because the consumer can participate in the process of wines maturing at their home. The consumer may also obtain different degrees of maturity and quality of the wine depending on the application variables ( wood origin, weight and toasted degree) .

The use of the OAK MASTER® corks, PATENTED closure produce some of the effects and properties of maturation in barrel, IB's process only being carried out inside the bottle, adding aromas, flavours and wood tannins.
