Others say, Raba says only when tarred: [if the vat is tarred, but] he did not trample [grapes] in it, this is the case in which scouring is sufficient.

Rashi on Avodah Zarah
Cleansing it is not sufficient - rather, peeling [off the pitch entirely is necessary] because wine may enter the cracks in the pitch.

Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
According to this version of Rava’s statement, Rava is teaching that scouring is sufficient only if the non-Jew did not also tread his grapes in the pitch-lined winepress. If he also tread grapes in it, the wine is more absorbed and scouring is not sufficient. This is a more stringent version of the teaching.
