Grappa Riserva Antica Distilleria di Altavilla 10 Anni

Antica Distilleria di Altavilla's Riserva 10 Anni is a Grappa with a respectable profile. This is undoubtedly due to the long period spent maturing in wood, a moment in which the distillate increases its character, acquiring from the barrels some typical scents, which are easily found during olfactory analysis. A bottle that confirms the immense "savoir-faire" of the distillery, capable since as far back as 1846 of churning out products in which quality is always set as the primary objective, achieved through highly artisanal processes that strike a chord with the hearts of enthusiasts.

Grappa Riserva 10 Anni is made by Antica Distilleria di Altavilla from the fresh pomace of some of Piedmont's grape varieties. The period in which the distillation is carried out is within two months, more precisely between October and November, so that the pomace is processed as early as possible, when it is still rich in aroma and flavor. Distillation uses copper stills powered by steam boilers, which operate using the discontinuous low-pressure method. Once the distillation phase is complete, the Grappa is transferred to oak barrels, where it remains to age for a total of 10 years.

Grappa Riserva 10 Anni is revealed to the eye with a concentrated amber color, endowed with a particular aromatic richness. Generous nose, offering typical hints of dried fruit, enriched by tertiary references and hints that recall the scent of wood. On the palate it is full-bodied, with a round and soft sip, marked by a warm profile from which a spicy flavor emerges. It closes with a finish endowed with excellent persistence. A perfect bottle to brighten evenings spent in the company of friends.
