Why the Master Distiller Recommends Grappa Riserva Incanto Mazzetti

The Master Distiller recommends this specific version because it represents the perfect synthesis of excellent raw materials and a meticulous distillation and aging protocol. The fresh and select pomace of Nebbiolo for Barbaresco, sourced from the region's most suitable areas, is processed in batch steam stills. This technical choice eliminates the less noble fractions, preserving the more volatile floral and varietal aromas. Subsequent, patient aging in fine wood barrels ensures superb aromatic stability and a unique structural smoothness. This product demonstrates how the complexity and austerity of a great Grappa Riserva can combine with extraordinary flavor harmony. Every stage of the production process aims to preserve the integrity of the original aromatic profile, offering an elegant, clean sip free of any harsh alcohol aggression.
