Pipeño owes its name to the container where the wine is stored or deposited before consumption, which is a wooden vat arranged vertically with the appearance of a "pipe", which has been manufactured in Chile since the 18th century with slats of larch or Chilean oak, known as Raulí (Nothofagus alpina) and which, unlike typical wines, are not identified with the name of the strain or place of origin.
The traditional Chilean wine barrel wood is Rauli! :)
