Mash Bill/Composition:

Pomace of Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot and Friulano grapes harvested in the alpine foothills of the Friuli region of Italy.

Production Process

Distillation:

The grape pomace is collected within 24 hours of the winemaking process and it gets stored and sealed in underground vats during the period of time between September and October. The distillation process starts in October and lasts— 24 hours a day—until May. This basic grappa used for the Riserva version is made in a discontinuous, vacuum-packed steam still.  The grappa is thereafter transferred to the post-modern plant in Bassano del Grappa where it is brought to its final stage (alcoholic reduction to 40% and cold filtration) and bottled.

Aging:

Aged for an average of 5 years in Slavonian oak barrels.
