Oak Barrel 50 L
Description
50 L Oak Wood Barrel ***
The selection and control of raw materials are two of the main keys to achieving success. Beyond choosing the optimal trees, it is essential to ensure consistency over time, which is synonymous with a personality that is always recognizable.
The semi-finished products are selected and cut to the same final height, ensuring uniformity. The wood is then smoothed to guarantee a uniform surface and a perfect fit between the staves. Finally, the stave is tapered so that it is wider in the middle and narrower at the edges.
Pre-toasting the barrels is necessary to give their components their final shape. Under the effect of heat, the wood softens and becomes bendable.
