A stainless steel fermentation tank with on top equipement for doing "pigeage". Pigeage means pushing down the "cap" of grape skins and other solid material that floats to the surface down into the must to get better extraction. Traditionally done by foot or with a hand tool, now done with hydraulic equipment. Each of the four black columns is a mechanical "foot". Domaine E Guigal, Ampuis, Cote Rotie, Rhone, France, Europe
