Altesino Grappa Di Brunello

Distilled Sangiovese di Montalcino grape pomace refined in barriques. Grappa di Fattoria was created for the first time by Altesino in 1977 together with the master distiller Gioacchino Nannoni. The fresh pomace from the company is distilled a few hours after racking in a copper still using a discontinuous method with low degree columns. The light yellow colour with golden hues is due to its short time in wooden barrels which enables the distillate to acquire slight hints of vanilla and oak without loosing the fruity taste typical of a young grappa. Balanced with a pleasant impact it delivers all its flavour on the palate with beautiful persistence. 42% ABV PRODUCT: Distillate made from the fermented must of Sangiovese (Brunello) DISTILLATION PERIOD: Within the first few days after racking DISTILLATION METHOD: Discontinuous in steam boiler AGEING: Refinement for 6 months in various types of wooden barrels
