Mazzetti d'Altavilla Grappa Riserva Incanto: The Regal Charm of the Langhe

This Riserva embodies the most noble, austere, and regal side of Piedmontese distillation. Grappa Riserva Incanto is dedicated to lovers of profound complexity and grandly structured spirits.

Why the Master Distiller Recommends Grappa Riserva Incanto Mazzetti

The Master Distiller proposes this version to celebrate the majesty of Nebbiolo da Barbaresco. The pomace, rich and selected from the finest sub-zones, is distilled in discontinuous steam stills to preserve its most intimate and complex varietal notes. Subsequent, prolonged resting in fine wooden casks smooths the grape's innate austerity, granting superb aromatic stability. It serves as the perfect example of how the robustness and structure of Nebbiolo can marry a velvety smoothness, offering a clean tasting experience free of sharp edges.
