HERE`S HOW IT WORKS: It crushes the grapes, stems-and-all, through a roller mill and then drops them in to a elongated cradled with perforated holes. Inside the cradle is a series of paddles that spin at a high rate of speed. These paddles auger the stems out the end of the cradle to be discarded and at the same time fling the pulp through perforated holes in the bottom of the cradle. Made in Italy.
