Tasting notes
Amber, luminous and enveloping. Possessing great aromatic richness, a scent of spices, brioche and pastries, orange and candied friuts. Warm, velvety and persistant, its aromatic shades are backed up with additional apricot friut notes, vanilla and bitter almond. Compared to most fiery grappas, this one, aged 18 months, enters aged brandy territory. It has a bright topaz hue and a big, butterscotchy flavor accented by clove and hot cinnamon sparks, with a drying feel. Pair it with a rich, fruity dessert.
