Grappa Invecchiata di Bricco Dell'Uccellone Braida [2018] (700ML)

With the 2005 vintage, Braida hatched the plan to create a spirit using the marc of their flagship wine Bricco dell’Uccellone. The resulting Grappa is aged three years in barriques used previously to age their flagship wine, Barbera d’Asti Bricco dell’Uccellone. Each Grappa bottle is numbered, and only a few hundred bottles are produced each vintage, something which is rare in the world of spirits and distillates. The taste is exciting: the austere and elegant sensory profile reveals the DNA of Barbera and the essence of Bricco dell’Uccellone. Aromas of sweet oak and cereal on the nose. Enjoyably elegant on the palate, with nutty and floral notes. Richly textured with a long finish.
