CASTAGNER GRAPPA FUORICLASSE LEON PROSECCO LT 0,70 - 37,5% vol. alc.
Very smooth and suave grappa obtained from distilling the best pomace of hill grown white Prosecco grapes taken from the heart of the districts of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene and selected upon their arrival in the distillery according to their freshness and the quality of the varietal aromas. As soon as the pomace arrives at the distillery it is treated and preserved with Grappasystem®, a system created by Roberto Castagner for controlled fermentation through the addition of selected oenological yeasts. Grappasystem® also ensures that the pomace is preserved in an ideal, healthy, oxygen-free environment at the right PH inside a tunnel of plastic food film under high pressure. This is the secret for keeping the aromas of the pomace intact in a completely natural way for up to several weeks.
DISTILLATION
The pomace undergoes partial vacuum batch distillation in copper stills so that the volatile substances are extracted at lower temperatures, resulting in purer and more intense aromas than in conventional distillation since they are subject to less thermal shock. At the end of its bottle-ageing this distillate has such a delicate and flowery bouquet that it is considered a “fine concept” grappa.
SENSORY FEATURES
The intense nose is reminiscent of white flowers, citrus and tropical fruit. Its fine and elegant flavour draws even the most delicate of palates to it.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
To fully appreciate it, taste it in “Elisse” glasses at a temperature of 8-12°, accompanied by a fruit based dessert.
