Italian term

sistema a pioggia

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
La fermentazione avviene in recipienti che hanno una capacità al massimo di 60 ettolitri ed è controllata attraverso un semplice sistema a pioggia con l’acqua del nostro pozzo.

I must admit I don't understand very well how you control fermentation through water. Could you explain this process as well, pls. ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

drip cooling system

Hi ME,

potra's document describes a pumpover system but the reference to well water suggests that your drip system could be a form of fermentation temperature control.

Have you got any more context?

FWIW

Note from asker:
Sorry, no more context in this regard. But I think it definately is what you say.

neutral Giles Watson : The documents you quote are not really relevant. They refer to irrigation and applying pizza toppings, not fermentation!
