Grappa of Amarone della Valpolicella
€30.00 VAT included
- In Italy (excluding the islands), delivery is free for orders over €200.
Amarone pomace is obtained after pressing
dried grapes. The pomace, still intact, is taken to the distillery where it undergoes controlled fermentation.
Once the ideal fermentation value is reached, it is transferred
to the boiler and distilled in copper stills.
VISUAL EXAMINATION:
The liquid is perfectly transparent, with no suspended particles
that could alter the perfect penetration of light rays
through it. Its complete transparency gives it the
definition “brilliant”. The colour is amber with a very pleasant caramel hue.
The Grappa flows into the glass, revealing a beautiful body and medium density.
OLFACTORY EXAMINATION:
It has a good complexity of overall aroma volume,
delicate, pleasant and essentially vertical. Good
retro-olfactory persistence with a perception of aromas
lasting over a minute after swallowing. The pleasantness of the
toasting is the added value of this barrel-aged Grappa.
Vanilla sensations are present; caramel and coffee with nuances of toasted wood, licorice and butter biscuit. Sweet spices with hints of
cinnamon and black pepper. Opening in the glass, the Grappa expresses delicate and intriguing notes of chestnut honey, moss and underbrush.
GUSTATORY EXAMINATION:
The caloric value of Grappa is characterized by a slight pungency that is especially noticeable in the aftertaste. Grappa can be described as decidedly frank, with good overall cleanliness, smooth style and ample aromatic complexity.
