Grappa 7.0 di Ruché riserva in barriques 70cl - Mazzetti

Why the Master Distiller Recommends Grappa 7.0 di Ruché Riserva Mazzetti

This selection was created to show how the encounter between a rare grape variety and long wood aging can achieve a perfect balance. The Master Distiller enhances the fresh Ruché pomace by distilling it in discontinuous steam stills. This method isolates the heart of the distillate and protects its original floral aromas. The subsequent aging in French oak and chestnut barriques provides remarkable complexity and a smooth structure. Time rounds off every edge, blending the exuberance of youth with evolved, warm notes for an enveloping sip completely free of sharp alcoholic harshness.
