...............................................................................................Grappa
Tre soli Tre 200943% – Berta – Piedmont, Italy
This grappa made from the Nebbiolo grape is aged on wood and is overwhelmingwith great personality. Splendid concert of sensations in which the mature fruit(blackcurrant, apricot, marasca cherries), cocoa and the vanilla stand out
Bric Del Gaian 200743% – Berta – Piedmont, Italy
Amber in colour and produced from the Moscato grape, this grappa is complexyet subtle. Hints of sage, fruits of the forest and grapefruit stand out
Oltre Il Vallo (Beyond the Wall)43% – Berta – Piedmont, ItalyA fine grappa, aged in casks of single malt Scotch whisky, from the ancient andfinest Scottish distilleries of Lagavulin, Caol Ila and Mortlach. Two very di�erentcultures, united in the passion for distillation. The name “Oltre iI Vallo" recalls hownobody has ever managed to go beyond the old Hadrian fortifications, the wallthat was the most northern border of the Roman Empire in Britain for much of theperiod of Roman rule over these lands. A fortification that divided the island intotwo parts. No-one could ever get past this boundary, until today, when theHighlands and Monferrato symbolically unite in this aged distillate.An amber colour ”Oltre iI Vallo" is characterized by a smooth taste and charm.At first there is an explosion of perfumes ranging from the notes of grape, raisins,dried fruit and almonds. These sensations then give way to a slight hint of smoke,peat and malt. Silky and enveloping, it lingers in the mouth and confirms softolfactory sensations, an aromatic bouquet reminiscent of oranges, hazelnuts and,a finally hints of tobacco and honey.
Nibbio40% – Berta – Piedmont, Italy
Produced from the Moscato grape, this light and elegant grappa is clear and hassoft floral tones with fresh flowers on the nose
