Grappa Arteliquida 2021

We are in Tuscany, in the land of Siena, here the estate Tenuta di Montechiaro purchased by the family since the 17th century dominates the territory with 160 hectares of land with 10 hectares under vine producing the finest wines expressing the terroir, and this is where Grappa Arteliquida 2021 is born

Grappa Arteliquida 2021

We distill our grappa using the skins of the rare Malvasia Nera variety. Double distillation carried out by hand in a copper alembic. A unique product for its use of Malvasia Nera which, thanks to the process, preserves and enhances the varietal aromas. Rich and complex aromatic profile, well-balanced and soft. The label was created by contemporary artist Eugenia Vanni. For this product she created an exceptional label, which when touched gives the sensation of running your hand over the wood of an old barrel.

Technical sheet: Grappa

 GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Malvasia Nera. VINEYARDS: La Scuola, planted in 2002, Single Vineyard 1.7 h. SOIL: Clay-limestone and sedimentary sands with marine fossils and shells. VINIFICATION AND AGING: The rare Malvasia Nera, gently pressed, is distilled in a water bath using a discontinuous copper alembic, obtained from fruit distillation and distributed by the Gianni Capovilla distilleries. The double steam distillation is applied first, then the eau-de-vie is obtained. This way we separate the heart from the heads and tails. The final blend is diluted only with water and mineral salts before bottling. TASTING PROFILE: develops varietal aromas of lavender and lily of the valley accompanied by sweet hints of almond paste and apricots in syrup. With notes of balsamic and tarragon. The taste is soft and sensual thanks to a fruity finish of redcurrant and blackberry. Serving temperature: 16 °C PAIRINGS Pairs well with white chocolate with blackberry jam. With Sienese sweet specialties: ideal with ricciarelli. An original pairing with lavender and rosemary ice cream.    Â
