bocas.... lagos abiertos

Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
In a discussion about winemaking, the follow phrase appears: "...los depósitos tienen bocas muy amplias para imitar la tradicional elaboraciíón en lagos abietos."
I am at a total loss. Obvioiusly the tanks have wide openings, but is there a specific term for this? And I am aso guessing that "open lakes" isn't appropriate either.
I'd really appreciate any guidance you can offer.

cisterns
My wife had a huge bodega in her house in Navarraand she says the 'lagos' were where the crushed grape juice went, where it settled; then was piped to 'cisternas', where it fermented.

La elaboración tradicional de estos tintos se ha venido haciendo como toda la vida. Tras la vendimia, las uvas se depositan enteras, sin despalillar, en unas pilas o depósitos de cemento abiertos, excavados en el suelo, denominados lagos, con una capacidad de almacenamiento superior a los 20.000 litros.
