Barbaresco da uva             -                Barolo da uva               

These producers make wine without using comparatively new small barrels in its vinification or maturation. This does not avoid being “modern” but avoids changing a wine of great established character into something perversely different.
The producers listed may not agree with the opinions expressed in this document.

By following this list you may miss some genuine wines suffering no detectable barrique influence, but the only way to give initial guidance to avoiding intrusively recognizable oak 'odour' and soggy cloying tannins is to identify producers who simply use none. Nebbiolo wines do not need extra tannin, and it seems utter perversity to reduce the wine tannin (and most other constituents) extracted from the grape, by abbreviated or cool maceration, to make room for foreign tannins that have nothing to do with "the product of freshly gathered grapes" that is - wine.

One of the truly learned of writers on wine in English in (fairly) recent years, Maynard A Amerine, Professor of Enology at the University of California, had an apt observation on this in a list of terminology (1976). His entry under 'Oaky = Woody' (odour) ends "A little may be positive especially in red table wines but but if it is recognizable it is considered negative".

The non-use of clarifying agent, besides indicating less interference with the process, is useful information for vegetarians, and especially vegans, who avoid consuming egg and fish products. (The mineral 'bentonite' is not generally used on fine wines as is does extract even more character from the wine than do other agents).
