CASTAGNER FUORICLASSE LEON AMARONE RISERVA LT 0,70 - 38% vol. alc.
Fuoriclasse Leon Amarone Riserva is an excellent distillate, unique in its kind. It is obtained from a skilfully blended combination of the Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara.
THE POMACE
The pomace is processed and preserved using Grappa System®, a system designed by the Master Distiller Roberto Castagner involving controlled fermentation obtained by adding selected wine yeasts. Grappa System® is an anaerobic high-pressure tunnel made from plastic film providing the pomace with the ideal environment and right pH level and ensuring that it retains its unique aromas in a totally natural manner.
DISTILLATION
The pomace undergoes partial vacuum batch distillation in copper stills so that the volatile substances are extracted at a lower temperature, resulting in purer and more intense aromas than in a conventional distillation since they are subject to less thermal shock. Before bottling this grappa rests at least 18-month sin barrique.
SENSORY FEATURES
Notes of vanilla, peach and bitter almonds, together with hints of honey acquired during aging. Smooth and persistent at the palate.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Excellent after-dinner drink, either on its own or accompanied with dark chocolate. It is best served at a temperature of 15/18° C in “Bolla” glasses.
