This artisan grappa rarity from Felsina is made from the finest Sangiovese grape marc from the legendary Fontalloro. The fresh, carefully selected vinacce are distilled using traditional steam distillation in a discontinuous copper alambic (pot still) – a centuries-old art that allows the highest concentration while retaining elegance. After careful distillation, the grappa matures for years in oak barrels, using natural decantation without refrigeration or mechanical filtration. This patient ageing process respects the balances that develop during the long resting period in barrels – a sign of true mastery.

This noble Riserva is amber-coloured, powerful and crystal clear in the glass. The bouquet develops complex aromas of resinous notes and sultanas with a slight hint of camphor. This is accompanied by seductive nuances of plums, vanilla and fresh grapefruit. Aromatic and smooth on the palate, without being aggressively alcoholic. Fine spicy notes of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg lead to a long, almost chocolaty final with a pleasant bitterness. A Sangiovese grappa of exceptional refinement – the distilled essence of the Fontalloro terroir. SUPERIORE.DE
