Grappa Barbaresco

The still dripping with must, the freshly-pressed skins, stems and seeds of grapes grown on DOCG vineyards located in Neive, Barbaresco, Trezzo, Treiso and Alba are immediately compressed into underground pits for a natural curing process that is able to extract all the aromas and flavours of the nebbiolo grapes.

Distillation System:

“Grappa distillata da ignari” (Grappa distilled by unaware people) with the discontinuous method with direct fire and submerged pomace. The steam generated from the distillation of pomace, enriched with alcohol-aromatic components, is condensed with subsequent fractional distillation of the phlegm in a copper column with 7 plates. This procedure, perfected by Romano Levi and still strictly adhered to, ensures the perfect conservation of the aromatic components, important for the organoleptic characteristics of Grappa.
