Artisanal wooden barrels are a cornerstone for those seeking the best in the preservation and refinement of wines, beers, spirits, and the maturation of Balsamic Vinegar. Each handcrafted barrel by Renzi Artigiano Bottaio is the result of a process that blends experience, tradition, reliability, quality, and passion for craftsmanship. Using premium, “naturally seasoned” woods such as Oak, Chestnut, Robinia (Acacia), Cherry, Ash, and Mulberry, the barrels are crafted to perfection. Wood, the primary material for creating artisanal barrels, plays a vital role in the maturation process. Its natural properties promote micro-oxygenation and release tannins and aromas that enhance complexity during refinement, making artisanal barrels the optimal choice for excellence.
