Sobre Este Método

Aging in large oak vessels (500L-10,000L+). Unlike small barriques, large barrels impart minimal oak flavor while allowing gentle oxygenation. Traditional in Barolo (large Slavonian botti), Alsace (foudres), and parts of the Rhône. Favored by traditionalists and natural wine producers.
