Why the Master Distiller Recommends Grappa Riserva Segni Mazzetti

This prestigious Riserva represents one of the boldest and most sophisticated expressions from the Altavilla barrel cellar. Grappa Segni is crafted to surprise the most demanding connoisseurs through an aromatic profile in continuous evolution, far beyond traditional standards. It is not just an after-dinner spirit, but a complex liquid masterpiece where the essence of the Piedmontese hills dialogues with an unprecedented sensory journey through noble woods.

Why the Master Distiller Recommends Grappa Riserva Segni Mazzetti

The Master Distiller highly recommends this exclusive label because of its dynamic aging method, which is truly unique in its kind. Fresh, selected pomace from native grape varieties is processed in discontinuous steam stills to capture the absolute purest soul of the fruit. Subsequently, the spirit begins a long refinement journey touching six different wooden casks. This sequential passage shapes the body of the grappa, granting it extraordinary smoothness and a layering of aromas that slowly unfold with every sip, entirely free of alcoholic harshness.
