Organoleptic properties

Clear amber colour. The bouquet is reminiscent of candied orange peel, aromatic herbs, macerated wildflowers, with an unmistakable touch of bourbon vanilla and delicate spiciness. On the palate the distinctive exotic notes of cumin, fenugreek and white pepper.  Undoubtedly dry but not aggressive.

Description

Taking a handful of the pomace after the grapes have been pressed and smelling its perfume is an indescribable sensation. The temptation to taste it is overwhelming. 

For Grappa lovers this is a gem. Aleatico pomace confers unique smooth and complex aromas. Distillation and ageing are carried out by one of the top Italian distilleries.
