Grappa Riserva
GRAPPA & GRAPPA RISERVA
Monteverro grappa is produced from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc grapes grown on our estate.
The fresh pomace is gently pressed, then delivered to the distillery within 24 hours, where it is distilled following the traditional single-batch pot still method. The master distiller selects only the “heart,” the essence that displays the most refined aromas. The result of this ancient process is a beautifully-rounded grappa with a rich, multi-layered bouquet of grape pomace, pungent herbs, and spring flowers.
Our grappa riserva is aged for 3 years in Monteverro barrels that confers elegance, harmony and complexity.
The pomace are kept at 5°C after pressing and brought to the distillery in the next 24 hours in order to insure the best aromatic quality and the less oxidation possible. The distillation process takes place on fresh pomace in an artisanal discontinuous system where small copper boilers are emptied after each distillation and filled again with fresh pomace. This discontinuous system allows a head and tail cut of each pomace lot, to deliver the finest aromas of each. The result of this labour-intensive method is a particularly pure yet round grappa with a wide variety of aromas. The grappa riserva is then aged for 3 years in Monteverro barrels.
