Anniversary Riserva Monovitigni® 5 anni in barriques

A harmonious union of Grape Spirits Monovitigno® Ribolla, Moscato, Merlot and Malvasia, distilled separately. Aged over 5 years in barriques and small casks.

Unique for its harmony and elegance; contradicting the literature about ageing in wood that suggests ageing neutral distillates in barriques, it maintains the elegant fruity and floral characteristics of the vine varieties Ribolla, Moscato and Malvasia, ripened by the full flavor of the Merlot vine variety.

November 2009: Cristina, Antonella and Elisabetta celebrate 25 years since the creation of Grape Spirit
invented for them by Giannola and Benito in 1984.

Batch method with the removal of the heads and the tails in special artisanal batch steam stills created by Benito Nonino for the distillation of grapes. The distillation happens very slowly to allow the volatile components, responsible for the perfumes, a proper evaporation period and subsequent condensation, in order to keep intact the precious organoleptic characteristics of the chosen vines varieties.
