This rare, artisanal grappa from Felsina is crafted from the finest Sangiovese pomace from the legendary Fontalloro estate. The fresh, carefully selected vinacce are distilled using traditional steam distillation in a discontinuous copper still (Brennhut), a centuries-old art that achieves the highest concentration whilst preserving elegance. Following gentle distillation, the grappa is aged for approximately 10 years in small oak casks, relying on natural decanting without chilling or mechanical filtration. This patient ageing process respects the delicate balances that develop during the long period of rest in the casks. A mark of true mastery.

This fine Riserva presents itself in the glass as amber-coloured, full-bodied and crystal-clear. The bouquet reveals complex aromas of resin and raisins, with a slight hint of camphor. These are complemented by enticing nuances of plums, vanilla and fresh grapefruit. On the palate, it is aromatic and pleasantly smooth, without any harsh alcoholic notes. Delicate spicy notes of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg lead into a long, almost chocolatey final with a pleasant bitterness. A Sangiovese grappa of exceptional sophistication – the distilled essence of the Fontalloro terroir. SUPERIORE.DE
