Grappa of Arneis 70cl - Mazzetti

Why the Master Distiller Recommends Mazzetti Arneis Grappa

The Master Distiller recommends this specific version because it represents the perfect synthesis of excellent raw materials and a meticulous distillation protocol. The fresh, select Arneis pomace, sourced from the most suitable areas of Roero, is processed in batch steam stills. This technical choice allows for the elimination of the less noble fractions, preserving the more volatile floral and fruity aromas. The final result guarantees superb aromatic stability and a unique structural smoothness. This product demonstrates how the youth of a white spirit can combine with extraordinary flavor harmony. Every stage of the production process aims to preserve the integrity of the original fruit, offering an elegant, clean sip free of any harsh alcohol.
