The winery Koutsogiannopoulos in Santorini, which has the unique underground Wine Museum in Greece, has been upgraded and now has a modern automated humidification system by ANDRIANOS.
The installation of the modern, 100% automated system achieves the regulation of the required humidity inside the cellars all year round, no matter what the weather conditions are. The appropriate machinery & equipment was selected after the necessary study by the experts of ANDRIANOS, for the correct distribution and complete coverage of humidity, which the specific areas required, in order to achieve the desired humidity levels.
In addition to the installation of automatic humidification inside the cellars, there was also added a timing system to avoid unnecessary hydration on the barrels.
The major losses of wine production in the cellars for storing and maturing wine on the estate were a constant problem for the company, due to the lack of humidity in the area. The "share of angels", which is the amount of wine lost each year through the barrel, is a permanent and particularly significant problem in wineries worldwide, as the wine level drops dramatically during maturation & the economic losses are great.
The new system achieved the reduction of wine losses by 70%, the highest improvement of wine quality and the greatest possible preservation of the oak barrels of the cellar.
The investment offers a quick payback that ensures significant savings due to the reduction of evaporation of the stored wine, while rapidly improving the quality of the wine.
