I believe some Valpolicella wines are matured in cherry wood barrels (Serego Alighieri, for one, if I have read the labels correctly, lo these many moons)

Ciò che ha detto Dale Williams ( snipped-for-privacy@aol.comdamnspam) è così interessante, che devo dire la mia:

In Italy chestnut is frequently allowed for ageing several wines, among which Barolo, Brunello, Vin Santo, Chianti ecc. This is a tradition coming from he past, but today most producers use oak. Nevertheless some old fashion producer remain.

Amphorae have been recently introduced by Jasko Gravner, one of the most brilliant Italian white wine maker, together with a full-on-skins and very long fermentation, no filtration etc., but only the time will judge if this new product will worth it.

But there in the US, did someone test walnut barrels?

For the sake of accurate information, epoxy-lined. Craig

Yes, the most prominent being Bordeaux.
