Production of the Aged Selection Grappa Barriques by Nonino Distillatori

The production of this exquisite spirit is based on a carefully selected raw material: high-quality grapes, meticulously chosen and pressed using traditional methods. The grape varieties used vary to achieve a harmonious balance between fruitiness and spiciness. After fermentation, the grape must is refined through a double or even triple distillation in copper stills, guaranteeing the purity and complexity of the grappa.

The crucial step is aging. The Aged Selection Grappa Barriques from Nonino Distillatori spends several years in carefully selected oak barrels.

The “maturation” in the barrels enables a profound development of flavor that perfectly connects fruitiness with wood and vanilla notes. The storage takes place in controlled climatic zones to ensure a harmonious interaction between wood and spirit and to increase complexity.

The balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern aging techniques creates a product that stands for its lively of chemical reaction processes. The careful barrel selection and extended aging time complete this masterpiece of production. The result is an elegant, multi-layered spirit that impresses with its depth and sophistication.
