Production notes
Straight after arriving at the distillery, the grape marc is distilled little by little in copper steaming cauldrons. This traditional and discontinuous technique guarantees the best quality. The result is a high-proof distillate which is then put small oak barrels for aging.
It is a perfect to conclude a nice evening. To be enjoyed pure at room temperature. The Grappa enfolds its complex aromas the best at 18-22°C.
