The objective is to improve access and treatment conditions for five million patients around the world who are currently at a therapeutic impasse.
Samuel Delafont makes his own wine and is part of an activist approach to promoting the terroir. He experimented with several types of containers and imagined a stainless steel drum in the shape of a barrel. The stainless steel barrels from the company Delafont Barrels are the result of an exclusive partnership with a French industrial engineering company.
The objective is to work the stainless steel in order to give it an optimal shape without angles or breaks so as not to disturb the deposition of the lees during the wine fermentation process and to facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the barrels.
