BackTwin Top® Evo The next level of Twin Top®
Popular premium segment
It is ideal for wines with floral and fruity notes, recommended to be stored in the bottle for up to 96 months. The uniform micro-granulated body provides greater homogeneity and structural stability, while the natural cork discs support a balanced and gradual development of the wine’s aromatic profile.
Each component of Twin Top®Evo undergoes rigorous quality control, including ROSA Hi-Tech treatment for the micro-granules and CorkNova for the discs. These processes ensure maximum sensory neutrality by eliminating TCA and other volatile compounds, while preserving the natural properties of cork.
Combining technical precision with natural elegance, Twin Top®Evo is a reliable and refined solution for wines that benefit from controlled bottle ageing and a consistent, high-quality closure experience.

- Ensure any dust its removed before corking.
- Ensure the cork is compressed smoothly, to a diameter no less than 15,5 mm.
- Ensure insertion of the cork is a quick as possible.
- For standard bottlenecks, the cork should be inserted to 1 mm below the top of the neck.
- Minimise moisture on the inside of the bottleneck.
- Headspace should be at least 15 mm at 20oC.
- Don’t leave the cork stoppers in the feeder as to avoid dust.
- Always use stoppers with a surface treatment suitable for the type of beverage, bottling process and selected bottle.
- A vacuum must be created in order to prevent internal pressures.
- Maintain the corker jaws free of nicks and signs of wear.
- Ensure proper alignment of plunger and location ring.
- Ensure corking machine operates smoothly, especially during compression.
- Clean all cork-handling surfaces regularly with chlorine-free products.
- Ensure the equipment is suited to the cork and bottle used.
- After bottling., the bottles should be kept in an upright position for at least 10 minutes.
- Ideal bottle storage conditions are 12o-18oC at 50-70% humidity.
