Dark Grappa Riserva Aged 3 Years Fratelli Brunello

Membership category
Grappa Aged Reserve

Raw material
It is obtained from the distillation of a selection of fermented red and white pomace, produced by small wineries in the Veneto region. They are selected and bought in sausages to fully preserve their characteristics.

Artisanal distillation
The FRATELLI BRUNELLO Distillery has always used a discontinuous direct steam system, one of the few still in operation, conducted at low pressure and low temperature. It is made up of 4 boilers strictly in copper, as tradition dictates.

The distillation cycle is very slow and involves the processing of small batches of (cooked) marc whose duration is about an hour and a half.

Seasoning and Aging
After resting at least 12 months in inert steel containers, to improve the gustatory softness, the Grappa is transferred to the Fiscal Warehouse where it will age in new and second passage barrels in 350 liter Allier oak for over 3 years.

During this period the magical alchemy of the slow and gradual transfer to the grappa of the color, the aromas and the toasting of the wood takes place.

Tasting
Intense straw yellow in color, with possible different shades depending on the aging batch, “La Scura Riserva” is a grappa with a great intensity of aromas, in perfect taste-olfactory correspondence with a soft and slightly vanilla finish. Spicy scents such as coriander and cinnamon are recognizable. Remembrance of licorice, chestnut honey and tobacco, light and pleasant sensation of hay and wet leather.

Service and Pairings
15-18 ° C in tulip-shaped glass.

It expresses all its qualities of elegance and fragrance when paired with hard cheeses aged over 18 months, extra dark chocolate 75% cocoa or with an artisanal cigar.
