GRAPPA DI SANGIOVESE
GRAPE VARIETY
Sangiovese
TASTING NOTES
After a few days' rest to allow the pomace to mature further, distillation takes place in discontinuous stills, in copper bain-marie cauldrons, to extract all the light, delicate aromas and aromatic complexity with which Sangiovese is generous. Over two years in steel tanks to allow all the delicate components of this Grappa to come into balance. The product is clear to the eye, light and delicate but complex and slightly fruity on the nose. It is difficult to trace it back to a single small fruit, but rather to a bouquet of very ripe blackberries and blueberries. On the palate, the taste is typical of a powerful, pleasant and almost soft Grappa, with a remarkable persistence.
