Solera di Famiglia 18-98

“Love drives away pain…” a person told us that March 21st 2001, when we hugged our dad for the last time. Now it was our turn to carry on, with the same enthusiasm he had.

We kept one of the 9 barriques of that Grappa he distilled, his last vintage, and since then we stored every year some batches made the way he used to like.

He loved Grappa from mixed-grape varieties of our land, long aged, strong and harmonious at the same time. To be honest, back then we didn’t share his style since we preferred the young elegance of the singlegrape varieties, but as we grew up we understood he was right.

oni had asked us to produce 9 barrels every year, without ever revealing why he chose this number.

After a thousand conjectures, knowing how superstitious he was, we guessed the hidden meaning: 9 represents a cycle that ends and begins again, as well as the “sonship”. Perhaps it was his way of telling us: “Carry on, I will always be with you”.

Hence we decided to continue with his project, using the “solera” method, thus obtaining a Grappa that cherishes the memory of time.
