Made from a blend of red grapes' pomace from the northern town of Povo di Trento, Trentino Alto Adige. Aged in oak, this smooth grappa is dry and full flavour with sweet/spicy notes leading into a persistent aftertaste.[/toggle_lite][toggle_lite title="Distillation" opened=""]Grappa is a distillate of the pomace of grapes. It is made according to the traditional "bain-marie" method, whereby pomace is placed in copper alembics set in steel boilers. The heat produced by the boiling water in the steel boilers, and the steam entering the copper alembics, give rise to the actual distillation process of the pomace therein. During distillation the headings and tailings are removed manually and the result is grappa averaging 75% alcohol by volume. Demineralized water with 0.7% sugar content is added in order to bring grappa down to the desired alcoholic strength. Grappa thus obtained is filtered, cooled down to 16 degrees below zero and then filtered again. The final product with 43% alcohol by volume is absolutely clear, colourless and stable, no longer affected by changing temperatures.

This distillate differs from others because of its very refined taste and its unique aromatic scent. It can be consumed both at room temperature and after refrigeration.[/toggle_lite][toggle_lite title="Characteristics" opened=""]Aged in oak for 24 months.
