Last born in the artisan distillery MASCHIO PIETRO the “Riserva 1100” is a grappa of Amarone aged in Oak for more than 3 years, or if we prefer for more than 1100 days, hence the name of this grappa.
The long aging period gives the grappa a great softness , a long persistence on the palate and a complex mix of spicy, vanilla and ripe fruit aromas.
Amarone grappa is also obtained by distilling the pomace of the grapes used to produce Valpolicella. We collect this pomace directly from the most renowned and well-established wineries in the Valpolicella region.
In these wineries, after a careful selection during the harvest, the best grapes are left to dry for about four months. Once pressed, the resulting pomace is left to ferment with the wine for another sixty to ninety days, until all the sugar content has been converted into alcohol.
Pairs perfectly with dark chocolate. A fine cigar completes the meditative experience.
