<br />GRAPPA LAGRINUM XO RISERVA IMPERIALE<br /><br />In 1379 the grape variety Lagrein was mentioned for the first time in a document as 'bonum Lagrinum'. It is one of the typical regional grape varieties of South Tyrol. The<br />multifaceted grappa produced from this grape variety is particularly well suited for refinement in wooden barrels.<br /><br />Renowned wineries from the Bolzano and Merano regions are the suppliers of the mash for this special distillate, which we carefully distilled in a small water bath alambic in<br />late autumn 2009. After harmonisation in stainless steel barrels, the grappa was filled into French oak barriques in autumn 2010. After 89 months of perfect storage in a<br />controlled atmosphere, the Grappa XO Riserva Imperiale has matured into a noble spirit of rare quality.<br /><br />Multi-layered, complex, with hints of dried fruit, vanilla, honey, excellent ballance and a remarkably delicate finish, this outstanding grappa presents itself like a concert for<br />the senses as a perfect pleasure for meditation. Recommended serving temperature 18°C. Recommended glass: Cognac glass.<br />50 cl 40 % vol<br />

POLI<br />BARRIQUE<br />SOLERA<br />FAMILY 18-98<br /><br />Grappa Riserva aged using the 'solera' method, desired by Toni Poli (1919-2001) and handed down to his sons. The 'Solera di Famiglia 18-98' is made up of 98 barriques:<br />starting from 2001, it blends various vintages of Grappa into a harmonious blend, the youngest of which is aged for at least 18 months. Over the years, this results in a<br />Grappa that embodies the memory of time.<br /><br />Grappa Riserva aged using the Solera method, distilled by flowing steam.<br />Its aroma is reminiscent of a wooden box filled with chocolate, vanilla, liquorice and<br />freshly roasted coffee beans.<br /><br />55% alc./vol. - 700 ML<br />

<br />Reserva Heredad<br />Reserva Heredad was created to express style, in the world of top of the range sparkling wines. We make it with the objective of offering an elegant, versatile Cava. To do<br />this, we select only the very best wines from each vintage, which will then age in bottle, in contact with the lees, for more than 30 months. This ageing ends when the winery<br />expert gives every bottle the magic touch with the last poignettage or shake of the wrist, which intensi- fies the contact of the lees with the wine, and creates a more<br />complex bouquet.<br /><br />THE VINEYARDS<br />The grapes are 100% hand harvested and transported to the winery in 25kg capacity self draining plastic boxes to prevent grape damage, and thereby avoiding the<br />possibility that the juice might oxidise, with a consequent loss of freshness.<br /><br /><br />IN THE CELLAR<br />The must for Reserva Heredad comes from the lightest pressing of the grapes. We only use the first 50% of the juice pressed. This is known as the flower must, as it is<br />the most aromatic and delicate. The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled low temperature of between 14 and 16°C, to retain the primary<br />aromas of the grapes. The blend for Reserva Heredad is made up of nine different wines, each one vinified in separate tanks. The magic of the blend is in ensuring that each<br />one lends its own touch of character to the whole. Macabeo is the dominant grape in Reserva Heredad, contributing acidity and freshness. It also allows the wine to age<br />well, during the 30 months or more that it will be in contact with the lees. Both the first and the second fermentations are carried out using our own selected yeast strains.<br />These give structure, softness on the palate, more complex aromas (honey, dried fruits and flowers), as well as an elegant and persistent mousse. Before disgorgement we<br />give each bottle a last sharp shake, or twist of the wrist, known as a poignettage, lifting the yeast cells from the side of the bottle, and mixing them once more with the<br />wine, thus intensifying the element of autolysis. The riddling or turning of all the bottles of Reserva Heredad is done by hand and in pupitres.<br /><br /><br />IN GLASS<br />Straw yellow in colour, with a small, fine, plentiful mousse. The opening aromas are of the ageing on lees, lightly smokey, with touches of biscuit or bread, which are<br />followed by hints of honey, fruit and flower petals. The palate is excellent, fruity and full of flavour, with dried fruits from the lees ageing, but very elegant, giving the drinker a<br />delightful sense of abundance.<br /><br /><br />ON THE TABLE<br />This Cava defines elegant refreshment, even in its presentation. It is a perfect companion to truffle influenced dishes, such as truffle oil drizzled pastas. White fish - sole or<br />monkfish à la meunière, or even traditional Mediterranean casseroles are perfect companions, as are cooked or cured hams, and soft white cheeses such as brie or<br />camembert. It marries perfectly with meat dishes, such as fillet of venison slow braised in a shallot sauce.<br />

SECOLO DOMENIS 50 cl<br /><br />To celebrate the centenary of DOMENIS1898, a grappa with an important character, fine and balanced.<br /><br />Strongly aromatic yet rounded, it surprises with the infinite sensations it offers to the taste. Certainly to be meditated on, slowly, to be pervaded by the thousand bouquets<br />on the nose and sensations in the mouth.<br /><br />The marc is collected fresh, even fermented, from selected suppliers. Distillation takes place in a discontinuous plant with eight copper stills, using direct steam. The use of<br />direct steam at a low temperature (just over 100°), which is blown into the distillation process at the base of the stills, makes it possible to extract the volatile components<br />from the marc mass without damaging them, especially the aromatic ones.<br /><br />The fact that the pomace comes from white grapes contributes to a strong aromatic personality, while the addition of black grape pomace gives it an unmistakable<br />roundness and harmony.<br /><br />The alcohol content chosen for this grappa (60°) clearly enhances the aromatic charge typical of grappa with an incredible softness in spite of the high alcohol content, while<br />maintaining an elegant balance and a pleasantly long finish.<br /><br />Typology: young grappa<br />Alcohol content: 60% vol.<br />Raw materials: marc<br />Serving temperature: 18°C<br />50 cl bottle with case<br />

<br />GRAPPA LAGREIN AGED IN MULBERRY BARREL<br /><br />The mulberry barrel is a true jewel that turns special brandies into unique delights for the palate. It gives the distillate its attractive amber colour, a fine sweet note with multi-<br />layered fruity nuances and absolute finesse.<br />Serving suggestion: neat in a cognac glass at 18°C<br />50 cl 40 % vol<br />

Bordiga Amaro St. Hubertus 70 cl / 38°<br /><br />Why it is different<br /><br />Bordiga's Amaro Riserva St. Hubertus is counted among the best bitters in the Italian tradition. It represents the apotheosis of the distillery's artisan and zealous approach<br />to quality. The starting point is the highest quality herbs and flowers that are selected by expert mountaineers in the alpine landscape of the Cuneo valleys. Bordiga is a very<br />special distillery, specialising in rigour and respect for tradition. Its strong point is the medicinal alpine herbs still harvested by hand and dried at high altitudes by mountain<br />people in an uncontaminated environment. This means that the botanicals used are spontaneous, and therefore intrinsically organic. They are harvested without the aid of<br />engines, without pesticides, fertilisers or fungicides and, above all, with great attention to product quality and respect for the environment. Each production, just like in the<br />past, is totally conditioned by the changing seasons and climate. Once harvested, the herbs are meticulously checked by the Master distillers who deliver only the best for<br />processing.<br /><br />How I drink it<br />To be consumed neat, with or without ice.<br />
