Picolit Cru THE LEGENDARY GRAPPA

“Still sends chills down my spine when I taste it. The prototypical grappa of this generation and probably of one to two generations to come… @ The most harmonious unaged grape-based spirit that I know. Perfection from the alluringly nuanced bouquet to the firm, tight-as-a-drum but bountiful taste that lasts and lasts… @ Superlative; an elixir of the top echelon”. F. Paul Pacult, Spirit Journal – June 2011

Primary Product

Selected and destalked pomace, harvested fresh and soft, of Picolit grapes Cru Nonino Selection Friuli.
Picolit is a very rare, typical varietal of Friuli and has a proclivity to shatter.

Fermentation

Under vacuum in stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperature, immediately
followed by distillation in order to avoid harmful secondary fermentations.

100% Distilled with artisanal method

Batch method with head and tail removal, in particular and exclusive copper steam stills renewed by Benito Nonino. Distillation takes place very slowly to allow the volatile components, responsible of the fragrances, a proper evaporation and the consequent condensation preserving the precious organoleptic characteristics of vine variety chosen.

Rest

From six months to a year in stainless steel tanks.

Sensations

Aristocratic elegant and pure; unique in its balance and elegance. Crystal clear, its fragrance reminds the honeycomb full of honey, a clear scent of acacia flowers and ripe quince apples, of fresh muscatel and just collected figs. In the mouth it clearly confirms the fragrances with the addition of the taste of bread crust. Persistent.

Combinations

Drunk, sipped or savored at the end of a meal or at any moment of the day, it is a source of real pleasure! @ The coupling with San Daniele raw ham and fig mostarda is really surprising.
