Grappa di Bardolino Riserva

The first distillation methods were born in Mesopotamia, very accurate processes which are also mentioned by alchemists from the 12th century AD. The establishment of the first distillery in Veneto, in Bassano del Grappa, started the beginning of modern distillation in Italy by introducing the steam distillation method. Grappa di Bardolino Riserva, an all-Italian distillate, is produced by direct distillation of the best Bardolino DOC pomace, which are the skins of separated grapes from wine. It is done, slowly and gently, by means of traditional stills, where steam passes through it in order to extract the less volatile part and thus obtain the aromatic substances. Then, according to what you want to produce, it will be refined and aged in wooden or steel barrels, like our Grappa di Custoza. So we can say, that it will be the type of wood, the time and the climatic conditions to give the different organoleptic characters. This product is dedicated to one of the twin sons of our winemaker Ivano Venturelli, with an "M" for Michele on the label.
