Garbellotto - L'arte del bottaio
PRODUCTS: BARRELS
These are the fruit of our collaborators in order to rationalise the use of the normal "tonneaux" in wine cellars.
They combine the convenience of the large casks with the refining speed of 5-700 litre barrels. They join the simple and effective building technique of the common tonneaux (pronounced toasting and simple straight ends) together with the more convenient accessories of the large casks like the small door, the valves etc. this facilitates use and cleaning because they do not need to be moved.

They are built with two types of staves: split or sawn in quarters of 40-45 mm with bottoms sawn in quarters of 55 mm. The staves are curved with direct fire using pieces of seasoned oak to avoid aromatic interference.
They are then toasted in conditions of controlled humidity levels, slowly and delicately to ensure the maximum aromatic efflux from the wood. Toasting can be light, medium, medium-strong and strong.

The narrowly-spaced hooping with top quality galvanised phosphorated iron complete the building of the barrels. Internal and external planning and sand-papering give the finishing touches and make them easy to clean and splendid to see.
A special natural transpirable varnish may be applied on request, which protects the barrel from excessive humidity.
