Italy is the country with the largest and most diversified wine production in the world. Its climate, the varieties of grape, its geological characteristics and the lay of the land make the “Bel Paese” - which the Ancient Greeks called Enotria, “land of wine” - the ideal place to produce excellent wines. The charm of the wine world and the importance of its preservation have inspired Smeg to develop a new range of wine coolers, technological design masterpieces. Wine and food culture reflect Italy’s soul, through different landscapes, customs, traditions and know-how. The numerous labels...

Wine tasting is a sensory analysis. Whether it’s white, red, rosé, still or sparkling, wine always requires several ideal conditions to preserve its characteristics. The taste of a wine and its quality can be measured according to several chemical parameters and other purely personal ones. In order to better preserve these characteristics, there are some essential conditions. Smeg has accurately developed a solution for each one of them. The ideal range to correctly preserve and age different wines is generally between 8°C and 16°C. This important variable must be between 60% and 80% to...

In order to preserve wine for a long time, it’s essential to maintain the correct level of humidity within the wine cooler. If the level of humidity is lower than 50%, the wine cooler is too dry, and this can cause the corks to become brittle and trigger wine oxidation. On the other hand, a level of humidity higher than 85% can cause the formation of mould on the labels, which can spread to the corks and the wine cooler itself. With a level of humidity between 60% and 80%, Smeg wine coolers guarantee optimal preservation of wine. Active carbon filter A special carbon filter allows to...

Solar light, and UV rays in particular, can alter the wines organoleptic structure, ruining its balance and flattening its scent; red wine loses its tone, while white wine takes on a typical yellowish colour. Thanks to the Smeg wine coolers Eclipse black-glass technology, the wine is perfectly shielded. The layered glass is a result of careful stylistic and qualitative research, it enhances the wine cooler: from a technological point of view it protects from the damaging light, and from an aesthetical point of view, it has a great visual impact and gives maximum transparency when the light...

Even the smallest vibrations can affect wine by lifting sediments. This causes different components to mix, altering the balance developed during the ageing period. In order to protect the bottles against these damaging effects, Smeg wine coolers are equipped with a cooling system which keeps vibrations down to a minimum. The sliding Oak racks allow to easily remove the bottles from the wine cooler in a practical and safe way, preventing rubbing and abrupt movements.

The wine cooler features removable and sliding Oak racks, a homage to noble winemaking traditions. This prestigious natural wood - the same used to make barrels since ancient times - preserves the bottles in their natural environment. The wine coolers internal structure comprises of one compartment in the 45cm version and two different compartments in the under-counter versions. Both versions feature controls on the door, instead of within the compartment; the space is distributed between the racks, which, thanks to the increased distance between them, can house differently shaped bottles,...

Thanks to the perfectly shaped housings, the racks can store bottles with different diameters and heights, such as Bordeaux-type bottles, heavy champagne bottles or magnum bottles, without the risk of them sliding. 45 cm cooler racks feature a horizontal shaping which allows to house taller bottles horizontally.
