Poli Grappa Amorosa di Dicembre, 500ml
With the dried grape marc of Torcolato, the distillation season ends in December and the
promise to wait for the next harvest is renewed every year.
Torcolato is a sweet and golden wine from fresh bunches of Vespaiolo, twisted into long braids (“torcolati” in Venetian dialect) and hung to dry until December.
The drying typically goes on until December, causing water to evaporate from the grapes and sugar to become more concentrated.
The temperature change often leads to the development of botrytis cinerea, the famous noble bunch rot responsible for new aromatic elements.
Grappa born in 1983 and produced exclusively in very limited quantities.
Raw material: Vespaiolo for Torcolato wine
Production method: artisanal distillation, in small lots, with a discontinuous copper still provided with steam pot.
Aromas: raisins, prunes, apricots and dry figs.
