Italian term or phrase: batteria di botti
See below thanks

La consuetudine è stata ed è tutt’ora, di regalare una botticella o una batteria di botti, in occasione di importanti eventi famigliari, come la nascita di un figlio o un matrimonio, imprimendo nel fondo della botte il nome a cui è dedicata; era il modo di lasciare un segno.
Rimane per questo motivo non un semplice dono ma uno strumento di legame con la famiglia o con un caro, e l’elisir che ne uscirà sarà gelosamente e amorevolmente custodito dal sapiente proprietario.

agree  José Patrício: the minimum number of the casks is a battery or a series of three - https://www.linguee.com/english-italian/search?source=auto&q...

agree  Nick_Baker: perhaps 'cask collection' is better. Barrels and batteries don't make good copy (associations with beer and beef) if talking about upscale personal gifts - look at the world of whiskies and fine wines, for example.

Reserve of barrels


Explanation:
This might be playing safe, but reserve could surely be used here. We don't always have the same words to classify things in English.

" The shape of Glenfiddich’s copper stills are strictly identical to those first used when the distillery was founded and it’s the coppersmiths’ job to make sure they stay that way. Secondly, Glenfiddich is one of the only distilleries with an on-site cooperage to tend the distillery’s huge RESERVE OF BARRELS."

barrel room, aging room


Explanation:
In vinegar and wine production, the room where barrels are stored for long-term aging are invariably referred to as barrel rooms or aging rooms (the former preferable).

Example sentence(s):
  • Nella batteria di botti, ci sono anche botti grandi di rovere di Slavonia.
  • There are also large Slavonian oak casks in the barrel room.
