Grappa 7.0 di Ruché riserva in barriques 70cl - Mazzetti

Why the Master Distiller Recommends the Grappa 7.0 di Ruché Riserva Mazzetti

The Master Distiller recommends this exclusive selection because it represents the perfect synthesis of a highly distinctive raw material and a meticulous aging protocol. The fresh, must-rich pomace of the rare Ruché grape is distilled in pot stills to isolate the heart of the distillate, preserving the most volatile floral and aromatic notes. The subsequent, monumental aging in French oak and chestnut barriques guarantees superb aromatic complexity and unique structural smoothness. This product demonstrates how time and wood can smooth out every rough edge, blending the exuberance of the original grape with a tertiary spectrum of rare mastery. Every stage of the production and storage process aims to safeguard the nobility of the Riserva, offering a sumptuous, warm sip free of any harsh alcohol aggression.
