agree Judith McLean : Although usually oak I think it best to use this generic term unless it's clear

agree Michael Korovkin : as an aside,since bianco barricato came into fashion,they started passing young wine (commercial) through a cushion of oak-wood shavings.In Italy we call it "Chateau Truciolais“ (cf. "truciolo").But on the bottles it says "barricato". Tourists lap it up!

Fascinating, thanks! I didn't realize this was allowed in commercial winemaking, though oak chips are available for home winemakers.
