Grappa Stravecchia is emblematic of the culture, care and art of distilling. Obtained from the distillation in Bain-Marie in a discontinuous still of both red and white pomace. It<br />is matured in small barrels of Cherry, Ash, Oak and Robinia, each giving its own characteristics of perfume, aroma, colour and flavour. The ageing time follows the rhythms<br />of nature: 18 months pass from moon to moon.<br /><br />The perfume becomes intense, more ethereal and harmonious, the taste loses its initial sharpness and rounds off to give an elegant and silky mouthfeel. The colour reaches<br />a warm amber tone. The Master Distiller follows its maturation until it reaches the ideal blend and full harmony between wood and Grappa. Thus is born Diciotto Lune<br />Marzadro, a refined meditation Grappa.<br /><br />Bouquet: intense, sweet<br />Structure: soft, dry<br /><br />Alcohol content (% Vol.): 41<br />Ageing: 18 months in Cherry, Ash, Oak and Robinia barrels<br />

VINE: Nebbiolo da Barolo.<br /><br />ALCOHOL CONTENT: 50% by volume.<br /><br />BOTTLE VOLUME: 70cl.<br /><br />AGEING: 9 years in small oak barrels.<br /><br />TASTING: Extremely limpid amber in colour, this grappa is very smooth from its 50 degrees. Its aromatic complex is extraordinarily broad and articulate, with a prevalence of<br />the fruity range, which allows one to perceive an exceptional variety and completeness: from dried fruit to cooked and syrupy fruit to prunes and sultanas. This ensemble is<br />joined by a floral note that gives distinctly honey notes. Another distinctive trait, given the long ageing, is the spicy range, dominated by the scent of wood from the barrique,<br />which gives the distillate scents of cinnamon, tobacco and liquorice, with a vanilla background.<br /><br />PACKAGING: The bottles, with numbered labels, are packaged in elegant cardboard drawer cases.<br />

The barrique has allowed the spicy aromas<br />to develop exceptionally well in the distillate, with very sharp notes ranging from pepper to cloves, from nutmeg to tobacco, from aniseed to liquorice. This very sharp tip<br />accompanies the heart of the raw material, which is revealed with fruity aromas of jam, fruit in syrup, baked apple, prune, sultana, almond and walnut. This is followed by a<br />hint of flowers and honey. For meditation, perhaps accompanied by bitter chocolate or an important cigar.<br /><br />PACKAGING: the bottles, with numbered labels, are packaged in elegant boxes.<br />

Its extremely deep colour heralds that aromatic power and softness that are later found during tasting.<br />It is a dry and austere distillate, which does not indulge in cloying notes: the aromatic profile is dominated by spices (cloves, pepper, nutmeg, aniseed, liquorice, tobacco)<br />and hints of the barrique. However, the scents of the raw material used are not covered, but are instead accompanied by notes of plum, candied fruit and dried fruits such as<br />hazelnut and almond.
