Description
The Ribolla gialla pomace is collected fresh and separately ensiled already at harvesting. Distillation occurs in eight copper pot stills with direct steam, followed by ageing for eighteen months in antique oak casks. With this type of wooden vat, the natural action of oxygen through the staves is privileged over the aroma extraction. This transforms a distillate rich in aromatic peaks into a round and elegant acquavite. An accurate refinement in stainless steel tanks for at least 6 months always follows, allowing the grappa to «settle», after such an important transition. Slightly amber in colour, it has a pleasant olfactory intensity and finesse which culminates in an elegant, persistent and harmonious aftertaste.
