GRAPPA RISERVA 5
LE ORIGINI
Distilled from the finest and most generous Piedmontese pomace, it is aged in large oak casks for up to five years, during which it acquires the typical aromas of wood. The long maturation process calls for the use of large barrels (over 10,000 liters) with thick staves, ensuring a proper and moderate interaction between the distillate and the oxygen in the air.
Organoleptic Profile
Color
Deep golden yellow with amber hues; bright and clear
Aroma
Intense and enveloping, with notes of vanilla, raisins, toasted hazelnut, and bread crust.
Taste
The slight astringency resulting from the long stay in wood is softened by the grappa’s generous and full-bodied character. A bit bold and unyielding, as every spirit with a strong personality should be. Medium-length aftertaste.
Technical specifications
Distillation of the pomace in a continuous horizontal still heated by steam, followed by fractional distillation in a 23-plate copper column.
Up to 5 years in Slavonian oak casks.
3 months in inert containers and 30 days in Allier and Limousin barriques after aging.
