Microporosity: n.f. The microporosity of the wood during aging in barrels helps maintain an air/wine interface that promotes oxidation. It is at the origin of the anthocyanin-tannin combinations which lead to a stabilization of the color and a softening of the tannins. Here, in fact, everything depends on the heating of the barrel. We can thus cause a significant increase in the microporosity of the wood which will allow the wine to enter in depth. Higher porosity helps...
