The Prestige of Garbellotto Casks
Choice Acacia:
Garbellotto Acacia casks and are produced from
Acacai trees grown in Northern France. Primarily used for Sauvignon Blanc and delicate whites, it is gaining popularity in in Sonoma Country and the Central Coast of California. Wines aged in Acacai can have pronounced floral notes, improved texture and less of a woody taste. Especially for delicate wines, when oak can be overpowering, Acaia is a great choice for allowing the wines to fully express themselves! A Light Toast is usually perferred.
Traditional Production:
Garbellotto casks and barrels have been made in the same traditional method over the past 245 years. By keeping the technique of using direct fire to shape the staves, Garbellotto casks keep the full depth of their staves throughout the shaping process. Only after assembly does the toasting process begin as indicated by the customer.
In the final stages of production, the staves are softly planed and given a light coat of breathable, anti-mold paint to preserve and protect the cask from bacteria and outside elements.
Unique Innovation:
The double concaved arching heads, symbolic of Garbellotto's products, keep the cask strong under internal pressures and eliminate the use of unsightly transversal wooden bars at the head.
The prestige, tradition and craftsmanship that goes into each cask and barrel leaving Garbellotto makes any cellar stand out in both beauty and taste.
