Slavonian oak casks and fine-grained French oak barriques

happy experience with the results :)
the fine grain may also refer to the casks

Might as well say barriques rather than barrels, it's good marketing.

agree Enrica Brancaleoni : though barriques are specific oak casks wih a capacity of 225 liters. so the term is not really interchangeable with barrels

No, fining is not dependent on a certain container.
