Bottega Riserva Privata Grappa Barricata 700ml

Production Area: Veneto, Italy

Vine: Pomace from grapes suitable for producing Amarone della Valpolicella

Characteristics: Production Area Riserva Privata is distilled with pomace from dried grapes used for producing Valpolicella’s most prestigious red wine, Amarone, characterized by great body and structure, and a unique personality. Pomace, the incredibly concentrated and rich raw material, is processed with care and undergoes three distillation phases with different temperature. The process takes place in traditional copper alembics, which allow for under vacuum distillation (greater protection of aromas), with bain-marie heating (indirect and therefore more delicate system), thus preserving aromatic fullness and fragrance of originary grapes. Grappa is then aged for at least 18 months in Slavonian, Limousin and American oak barrels. The resulting distillate, with its great character, is the perfect expression of the sun, wind and water which caressed the grapes until the harvest.

Color and Appearance: Intense amber color.

Bouquet: Intense and captivating, it has a complex bouquet, starting from honey and vanilla hints which turn into cocoa aroma, with a delicate and fascinating spicy finish.

Taste: Full, round and persistent, on the palate it expresses the typical structure of its originary vines, with elegant hints of noble wood as a result of its long aging.

ABV: 43%

Serving Temperature: 18 °C
