Young Aromatic Grappa

Raw material
Aromatic pomace of Fior d'Arancio DOCG Moscato dei Colli Euganei (Veneto). The first evidence on this particular grape dates back to 1300, when the poet Francesco Petrarca mentions it in one of his writings calling it "Moscato Sirio".

Since the middle of the last century, the problems associated with its late ripening have meant that cultivation was almost completely abandoned. Only the perseverance and passion of some small producers have saved Moscato Fior d'Arancio.

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 which lasts about an hour and a half.

Seasoning
Grappa Fior d'Arancio is left to rest, for a period between two and three years, in inert steel containers to round off the taste / olfactory sensations and enhance its aromatic characteristics.

Tasting
Grappa Fior d'Arancio has great olfactory intensity, pleasant fragrance and gustatory harmony. From the particular scent of Moscato, accompanied by the delicate hint of orange peel and rose petals, it releases the best of itself in the aftertaste.

Its elegant persistence makes it unique and interesting, if served fresh, adapting to the summer period.

Unsurpassed when paired with blue cheeses, fruit-based ice creams or Sicilian cassata.
It is enhanced with any chocolate-based parfait.
