The crown jewel of the MASCHIO PIETRO distillery, the “Regina dei Cuori” series includes two precious spirits: Amarone grappa and Recioto di Soave grappa.
Both the Amarone and the Recioto grappas are aged in acacia barriques, a lightly aromatic wood that gives the spirit a unique and unmistakable aroma.
Both distillates are bottled in the “Lola” decanter and presented in beautiful Fedrigoni cardboard boxes with hot-stamped gold foil.
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.
Recioto di Soave grappa is obtained by distilling the pomace of Garganega and Trebbiano grapes, collected from the most renowned and well-established wineries in our area — the Soave region.
In these wineries, the grapes are selected from the sunniest and ripest bunches, and then left to dry for about three months in well-ventilated rooms, allowing them to reach a high sugar concentration, essential for producing the sweet wine known as Recioto di Soave.
Right after pressing, the pomace is separated from the must and delivered to the distillery. Here, it is left to ferment in special containers for a period lasting until all the residual sugar has been converted into alcohol.
The distillation of this pomace results in a soft, pleasant grappa with delicate aromas of hazelnut and bread.
