Functioning
Temperature
Sudden temperature variations are extremely detrimental to the good conservation of wine .
It is the association of the density and the phase change of the water contained in Argicru which makes it possible to achieve a weighting of these thermal shocks without any time limit.
Hygrometry
The permanent exchange of humidity between the air and the earth allows perfect hygrometric regulation of your cellar.
When the air temperature increases, the water in the clay evaporates
➜ The ambient air is cooled.
When the air temperature drops, the water that had evaporated recondenses in the clay which then releases the heat it had stored
➜ We heat the ambient air.
This scientifically recognized phenomenon of Adsorption/Desorption acts as a totally natural and perpetual air conditioning.
Vibration & Ultra-sound
Vibrations are very detrimental to the proper aging of wine.
In fact, these permanently release tannins inside the bottle, causing premature aging of the wine.
The absence of a motor in Argicru allows the wine to flourish in complete serenity without any vibration, without time limit and without energy consumption.
In addition, Argicru blocks ultrasound, odors and produces no noise, a real pleasure for everyday life.
Light ventilation
Humidity and dryness require adequate ventilation of stored bottles, without drafts, to prevent mold and deterioration of caps and labels.
The darkness
To properly store and age wine, it is essential to remove any source of light (UV) which causes premature oxidation of the wine to avoid a permanent “taste of light” in your bottles.
Horizontal storage
Bottles must be stored horizontally. so that the corks are in contact with the wine and remain airtight.
