Description
Riserva di Castagner grappa comes from the pomace of fine cru grapes.
The pomace is treated and preserved with "GrappaSystem", a system created by the Master Distiller Roberto Castagner, thanks to which it is possible to create a controlled fermentation, obtained with the addition of selected oenological yeasts. The system guarantees conservation of the pomace in an ideal environment, with the right pH level, inside food-grade plastic film tunnels, at high pressure and in the absence of oxygen, so as to keep the aromas intact for months. The distillation takes place partly in traditional bain-marie stills and partly in technologically advanced column systems, in three different distillations, to obtain the best aromatic yield and maximum finesse on the palate. The refinement takes place in cherry barriques for over 18 months.
On the nose there are fruity aromas of morello cherry, to which are added enveloping notes of vanilla and wood.
Excellent at the end of a meal, alone or in combination with dark chocolate.
