Barbaresco da uva             -                Barolo da uva               


These producers make wine without using comparatively new small barrels in its vinification or maturation. This is entirely unrelated to being “modern”; it simply avoids changing a wine of great established character into something perversely different.
The producers and suppliers listed may not agree with the opinions expressed in this document - especially the UK suppliers.

By following this list you may miss some genuine wines suffering no detectable barrique influence.
(For instance, at Cascina Morassino they develop their Barbaresco in barrique before it all goes into large 'botti' - specifically to avoid oak on the nose. The great house of Prunotto, which did not use barriques in the era of Beppe and Tino Colla, today uses 'old' barriques; clearly the introduction of organoleptic wood elements is not in their philosophy).
But non-use of barriques is fact - while the lack of excessive oak presence (even the undetectability of oak) is opinion, and may vary considerably year on year.
So the only way to give reliable guidance to avoiding intrusive oak 'odour' and cloying tannins is to identify producers who add none. The perverse practices do continue - of reducing tannin (and other constituents) extracted from the grape, by abbreviated or cool maceration, in order to replace the diminished quantities with foreign substances, notably tannins, that are unrelated to “the product of freshly gathered grapes” that is: wine.

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).
