Knowledge of the types of soils and climates best suited to the growth of white oak and their repercussions on the wines is a fundamental requirement for choosing the most suitable wood for each wine.

Quecus alba grows in mixed forests along the Appalachian mountain range from Pennsylvania to Missouri. In the United States, strong environmental regulations allow for the controlled harvesting of certain trees, and only the most suitable are selected to be used in wine barrels.

The 24 months of natural drying in the yard is essential for the maturation of this wood. Natural drying ensures that the barrel will bring the elegance of fine tannins to the wine.
