Grappa di Bassano, Capovilla t__sambuca

Grappa di Bassano, Capovilla t__sambucaIf you know, you know. Vittorio Capovilla, or Capo as he is known, is widely agreed to be the finest distiller of Grappa and eau de vie in Italy. At Capovilla they use the particularly delicate Bain Marie method to carefully extract flavour from the grape pomace which results in a subtle, pure and delicious Grappa. This is their flagship Grappa and is excellent value. Powerful aromatics, clean & pure with subtle alcohol. A combination of white flowers

Cold fermentation temperature and only stainless steel vats preserve the pure fruit character and you may notice some effect from the lees contact

which helps to retain flavor

if you have the patience

The vinification is complete after six months in large oak barrels

yet extremely elegant

hot summer sun and cool sea breezes make for these vibrant and concentrated wines

Northern Spain

An explosion of flavour on the palate

One of Italy’s many amazing cooperative producers

The palate is super fresh and surprisingly round with a nice bit of body coming from a period of lees ageing

The summer is upon us and so are the smiles

fleshy citrus and stone fruit notes
