RAW MATERIAL

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

DISTILLATION

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 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.
