vinification tower


Explanation:
Just another possibility, as my knowlwdge of wine-making is rather limited, and this only gets one hit.

However, I think the above answer is a "wine tower" in the sense of "above-ground wine cellar" (and a great excuse for an architectural feature), while the link below talks about a "vinification tower" (in quotation marks, however) which as far as I can tell has to do with the wine-making process?

neutral  Giovanni Guarnieri MITI, MIL: could be, but since I can't find any reference to its purpose on the net (BTW - only 3 hits for "torre vinaria" su Google"), I think a literal translation is the safest bet.
