Well they are back, Merlot didn't have one, but the Sangiovese did. Let me state - I hate them as much now as I did before. Pulled in the direction of the arrow, nothing happening. Got some pliers and pulled in the arrow direction, only succeeded in ripping the pull tab right off. Ended up holding the bag over the fermenter while my wife clipped the corner of the bag off. Matteo - there has to be a better way. I understand why you do this, but please understand that I don't like it one little bit.
