Coravin Vinitas®
The heart of Somelì: an automated process based on Coravin technology that preserves the wine exactly as in the original bottle.
Coravin Vinitas® system — fractioning in an inert atmosphere
The world standard for fractioning wine in an inert atmosphere. The technological heart of every Somelì tasting experience.
Automated Coravin process
An automated system based on Coravin technology: argon and nitrogen allow the wine to be poured from the bottle into the tasting experiences without ever being exposed to oxygen, preserving the organoleptic profile intact.
High-seal screw cap
Screw closure with OTR (Oxygen Transmission Rate) below 0.2%: an oxygen barrier that ensures the wine is preserved for over 12 months.
Premium food-grade glass
Every tasting experience is contained in high-quality, neutral and safe food-grade glass that protects the wine and elevates its presentation.
Travel-friendly 100 ml format
The 100 ml format is the only one compliant with carry-on liquid regulations: the only wine an international traveler can take along, anywhere.

Frequently asked questions about Coravin Vinitas
What is Coravin Vinitas?
Coravin Vinitas® is a breakthrough technology that turns a single bottle into seven 100 ml tasting experiences, through an automated process using inert gases such as nitrogen or argon.
How does Coravin Vinitas work?
Using argon or nitrogen, the wine is transferred from the source bottle into the 100 ml bottles in an oxygen-free environment. The high-seal screw cap guarantees an OTR (oxygen transmission rate) below 0.2%.
How long does wine last with Coravin Vinitas?
The wine keeps for 12 to 24 months, preserving its organoleptic qualities to a high standard: aromas, structure and taste stay true to a freshly opened bottle.
How can I access Coravin Vinitas services?
Somelì is the exclusive European licensee of Coravin Vinitas® technology and makes it available to wineries through its hub in Northern Italy.

Coravin Vinitas in Europe: the exclusive Somelì licence
We are the exclusive European licensee of Coravin Vinitas® technology and make it available to wineries through our hub in Northern Italy. The service is open to producers across Europe: the winery sends the bottles to the hub and gets back the finished product, labelled and packaged. The machine cannot be bought or rented directly: through the hub you access the full service, with high production volumes and competitive pricing. That's why a winery doesn't need to install anything or train staff to have its own wine in 100 ml tasting experiences.
