Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
This grappa shows an intense amber yellow color, limpid and crystalline. The
nose reveals intense and clean aromas of vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, dried
plum, licorice, honey, dried fig and chocolate with almost imperceptible
alcohol pungency. The taste is intense and smooth, good balanced sweetness,
perceptible alcohol pungency, not excessively aggressive which dissolves
rapidly, agreeable. The finish is persistent and round with pleasing sweet
hint and flavors of dried plum, honey, licorice and hazelnut. A well made
grappa produced with discontinuous method in steam operated alembic stills
and aged in barrique for about 30 months. |
