Abstract (en)
A closure element (1; 9; 15) of natural cork for bottles containing drinkable liquids, is adapted to be inserted with interference into the neck (21) of a bottle (20), the neck (21) having a determined first axis (22), the closure element (1; 9; 15) having the shape of a geometric solid with a constant cross-section along a second axis (2; 10; 16) coincident with the first axis (22) when the stopper (1; 9; 15) is inserted into the neck (21) and a plurality of lenticels (6) characteristic of the natural cork, which are distributed into the closure element (1; 9; 15), the lenticels being substantially parallel to each other and extending in a determined direction (R); the closure element (1; 9; 15) being oriented with respect to the lenticels (6) so that the second axis (2; 10; 16) is substantially parallel to said lenticels. <IMAGE>
