Grappa 3.0 Altogrado 70cl - Mazzetti

Why the Master Distiller Recommends Grappa 3.0 Altogrado Mazzetti

The Master Distiller suggests this version to showcase the pure strength of a white grappa that maintains extraordinary taste harmony despite its high alcohol content. Fresh, selected pomace from native Piedmontese grape varieties is processed immediately to extract the authentic aromatic essence of the region. Through careful distillation, less noble fractions are eliminated, protecting the crispness of the fruity notes. The result is a young, clean grappa with excellent aromatic stability, capable of expressing power and vigor without overwhelming the palate.
