<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 />

Chartreuse VEP. Verte<br />Chartreuse France<br /><br />1 lt / 54°<br />Typology: Liqueur<br />Raw material: Alcohol, herbs, spices, aromas, sugar, honey<br />Method of production: Pot Still Distillation &amp; Infusion<br />Ageing: Continental<br />Box: Yes<br />Why it is different<br /><br />Green Chartreuse VEP is an extremely long aged liqueur, technically the most aged liqueur on the market. A Green Chartreuse with over 15 years of ageing, in small<br />barrels.<br /><br />How to drink it:<br />To be enjoyed as the great end-of-meal liqueur that it is, in fact served at the end of meals in many Michelin-starred restaurants around the world.<br /><br />Focus:<br />Chartreuse means Voiron to many. For more than 100 years, the French town in Haute-Savoie has been the home of the much-loved liqueur of the Carthusian fathers. The<br />Voiron site was built at the end of the 19th century as a logistical base for production, which was carried out in the historic Fourvoire distillery in Saint Laurent Le Pont,<br />destroyed by a landslide in 1935. From 1903, however, the monks had to flee, due to immediate expulsion from the French state, and took refuge in Spain, in Tarragona,<br />where production continued. After returning to France in 1930, and especially after the landslide that destroyed the old distillery, production was transferred to Voiron, where<br />the legendary underground Chartreuse 'caves' can still be visited today.<br />

Chartreuse VEP. Jaune<br />Chartreuse France<br /><br />1 lt / 42°<br />Typology: Liqueur<br />Raw material: Alcohol, herbs, spices, aromas, sugar, honey<br />Method of production: Pot Still Distillation &amp; Infusion<br />Ageing: Continental<br />Box: Yes<br /><br />Why it's different:<br />Chartreuse VEP Yellow is perhaps the king among all liqueurs, certainly the most Aged on the market. A Yellow Chartreuse with over 15 years of aging, in small barrels.<br /><br />How I drink it:<br />To be drunk strictly straight, to enjoy every nuance.<br /><br />Focus:<br />Chartreuse is a liqueur projected into the future, despite its centuries-old history. On 30 August 2018, the new distillery at Aiguenoire in Entre-deux-Guiers was inaugurated<br />after 2 years of intense coatruzione work. The distillery stands on a historic site for the Fathers, in fact the parcel of land where it was built was first used by the monks as<br />early as 1590 for their farming and fishing activities. They then bought it on 30 August 1618, exactly 400 years before the inauguration of Grand Avenir-Auguenoire. It is a<br />return to the heart of the Chartreuse massif that gave rise to the monastic order, just 12 km from the Grande Chartreuse, whose first structures were built from 1084 onwards<br />by order of Saint Bruno.<br />

<br />VELTLINER<br />GRAPPA<br /><br />Veltliner grappa. Veltliner, better known in Austria as Grüner Veltliner, has been cultivated since Roman times. It thrives on lean as well as on nutrient-rich soils, but needs a<br />sunny autumn at the end of ripening to develop its full aroma potential. In South Tyrol, the winegrowers of the Valle Isarco have specialised in its cultivation and produce<br />wines of fruity spiciness with notes that reach into the peppery, reminiscent of wildflowers and meadow herbs on the nose. This complex interplay of aromas also makes Zu<br />Plun's Veltliner Grappa a particularly interesting distillate. The marc for this single-varietal speciality also comes from the Eisack Valley, from the cultivation area around the<br />Neustift monastery.<br /><br />Raw material: Vineyards of the Neustift area, Eisack Valley<br />Distilling 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, floral bouquet reminiscent of Gewürztraminer<br />Palate: Full-bodied, fruity.<br />Finish: Persistent<br />
