Why Invest in an Oak Barrel?
Oak wood is essential for refining beverages. Through micro-oxygenation, the barrel "breathes," softening the wine's tannins and adding notes of vanilla, caramel, or spices. A small barrel is perfect for home use or for serving guests in a unique way.
Artisanal mugs and glasses complete the experience. Ceramics keep the drink's temperature constant for longer, and the unique design transforms every meal into a celebration.

Frequently Asked Questions about Barrels and Craftsmanship
How to prepare a new oak barrel?
A new barrel must be "swelled" with cold water. Fill it completely and leave it for 2-3 days until no drops leak through the staves. Then rinse well. This process seals the wood before introducing wine or spirits.
Can clay mugs be machine washed?
Although some ceramics are durable, we recommend hand washing artisanal products (mugs, pitchers) to protect the hand painting and prevent chipping. Avoid very strong detergents.
Do barrels include a tap?
Yes, most of our decorative and functional barrels come equipped with a tap (wooden or metal) and a wooden stand, ready for use or display on a bar.
