RAW MATERIAL

From the pomace of Nebbiolo grapes from Barolo and Barbaresco and Moscato d'Asti.

DISTILLATION METHOD

Discontinuous steam still with the “Lazarito Bocchino” method. The distillate is obtained at 75° alcohol content after appropriate discarding of heads and tails by means of columns with copper mushroom-shaped plates.

AGEING

In 225 liter barriques made of Allier, Troncais and Limousin wood, for a minimum period of 8 years, during which the alcohol content of the distillate is progressively reduced up to 45 degrees. A year before being bottled, the distillate is decanted from the barriques into a large oak barrel, so that the various spirits can slowly harmonize. The Cantina Privata is bottled only in the best years, in a blend made up of 65% Nebbiolo grappa from Barolo and Barbaresco and 35% Moscato d'Asti grappa.

TASTING

Medium-high intensity colour, the scent has a pleasant harmony of honey, marron glacés and chamomile. The full-bodied and enveloping flavour, long lasting with notes of cinnamon, cloves and pine resin.
