Grappa Stravecchia
Distilleria Pisoni (Trentino, Italy)

This grappa shows a pale amber yellow color, limpid and transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas of prune, hazelnut, pear, vanilla, tobacco, chocolate and licorice, with almost imperceptible alcohol pungency. In the mouth has intense flavors, with perceptible alcohol pungency which tends to dissolve rapidly, good correspondence to the nose, pleasing roundness, balanced sweetness. The finish is persistent with flavors of prune, hazelnut and chocolate. This grappa is distilled in a batch bainmarie alembic still and is aged in barrique. Alcohol 40%.
