Style & Production
This grappa is distilled from the pomace of Nebbiolo, the noble grape of Piedmont. After distillation it undergoes careful aging in oak barrels, a long maturation that lends the spirit structure, warmth and a deeper amber tone before bottling.
Tasting Notes
Expect an amber color and a layered nose of dried fruit, fine vanilla, roasted nuts and gentle oak. The palate is powerful yet harmonious, with a fine balance of wood, spice and fruit. The finish is long, warm and elegant, a refined way to linger by candlelight.
