Production of the Principi Aldobrandini Grappa Amarone Invecchiata by Bottega

The Principi Aldobrandini Grappa Amarone Invecchiata is made from high-quality pomace of Amarone grapes, harvested exclusively in the picturesque region of Veneto. The Bottega distillery relies on tradition and craftsmanship to create this unique grappa. The key components are:

1. Amarone grapes
2. Carefully selected yeasts
3. High-quality spring water

After harvesting, the pomace is quickly brought to the distillery to preserve its fresh aromas. Distillation occurs in modern copper stills, which gently extract the valuable essences. The grappa then ages for at least 18 months in meticulously selected oak barrels. This aging process imparts the grappa with its complex aromas and a distinctive character. During this time, the beautiful golden color develops, making the Principi Aldobrandini Grappa Amarone Invecchiata so unique.
