<br />PLUM<br /><br />For the plum distillate of the Zu Plun distillery, only the plums typical of South Tyrolean mountain farms are used, which grow directly on the Plunhof farm at an altitude of<br />almost 1100 metres. In this climate, which is characterised by strong temperature fluctuations, small, compact fruits ripen with a more concentrated aroma than usual<br />cultivated plums. It is this aroma that should fully develop in the plum brandy, which is why the tree-ripe fruits are carefully pitted before further processing. The hand-picked<br />and prepared fruit is gently mashed. After natural fermentation without additives, the mash is distilled twice. The plum as a prime fruit constantly challenges master distiller<br />Rabanser to improve his art and to strive for perfection and balance - an idea that is also found in the motif of the label: A rhinoceros balancing a ball.<br /><br />Raw material: Local South Tyrolean farmer's plums, mainly own harvest from Plunhof.<br />Distillation method: discontinuous, double distilled, copper still heated in a water bath<br />Alcohol strength: 42 Vol%<br />Volume: 0,5 l<br />Colour/clarity: crystal clear, colourless<br />Nose: Fruity body with aromas of cinnamon and caramel<br />Palate: clean, soft style with delicate almond notes<br />Finish: length throughout, present typicity<br />Tip: A coherent combination with dark chocolate<br />

<br />Grappa Riserva Single Cask 22 years Selection<br />A unique and precious grappa, in a limited edition of 3,240 numbered bottles certified by our master distiller. Exceptional barrel ageing, number 326, which began on 26th<br />September 1996 and ended on 28th February 2019, has given us Grappa Riserva 22 years Single Cask, a superb distillate of anticipation and of an art that the Nardini family<br />has been treasuring for over 240 years. A true act of innovation in the Nardini world, the first of its kind: unlike traditional grappa Riserva which are cuvèe of different casks of<br />the same vintage, in the 22 years Single Cask it is the final blend that is lowered into the cask to age. A grappa of sublime quality, kept in a fine bottle and packaging made<br />of Slavonian oak.<br />Raw material:<br />Exclusively destemmed pomace from multi-varietal grapes.<br /><br />Production Process:<br />Blend of grappas produced with continuous/discontinuous plant and distillation columns.<br /><br />Appearance:<br />Amber yellow with warm tones.<br /><br />Aromatic profile:<br />Complex and delicate profile rich in nuances with clear hints of vanilla and light floral notes.<br /><br />Taste:<br />Full and refined.

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 />
