For the Storica Bianca the grape pomace is collected fresh from selected suppliers and is stored in silos for up to a few months after the grape harvest. In this crucial phase it is very important to shelter it from the air according to a delicate method where the silo roof is covered to promote the conditions favourable to the yeasts which are responsible for alcoholic fermentation. Distillation occurs in eight copper pot stills. Crystal clear appearance, fine nose. Strong intensity, characterised by an intense and complex collection of aromas. Harmonious persistence.
The ageing of Storica Riserva occurs in antique oak casks, a wood that although repeatedly reused, releases the characteristic amber colour. Then a blend is made with grappas of different ageings, at least 18 months, some younger and others aged in wood for some years.
The grape pomace of Secolo is collected fresh, also fermented, from selected suppliers. Distillation occurs in eight copper pot stills. The use of low-temperature direct steam (slightly higher than 100°C), blown into the base of the distillation stills, enables the extraction of volatile components from the pomace mass without damaging them, especially the aromatic ones.
The origin, from the pomace of white grapes, helps to mark a strong aromatic personality; the contribution of black grape pomace gives roundness and unmistakable harmony.
The choice of alcoholic strength (60°) clearly enhances the aromatic intensity typical of grappa with an incredible softness in spite of the significant alcohol content. An elegant balance is assured together with a pleasant prolonged persistence.
