Colorless and crystal clear. The fragrance is intense and fruity, it reminds you of ripe fruits such as banana and pineapple. Its flavor is dry, soft and round.
Distillation
The “vinacce”, after the pressing carried out with a hydraulic press, pass to the subsequent processing which consists in separating the stem and, with an innovative technology, removing the pips which represent, by weight, a percentage ranging from 20 to 45%. In this way we can avoid the distillation of wax wood and oil that make up the grape seed itself. The peel alone is distilled as soon as the sugar fermentation is finished, which takes place in small containers of 4 quintal capacity. Small masses to avoid overheating and to ensure maximum transparency of the origin and integrity of the vine. Fermentation is accelerated by the addition of selected yeasts and the distillation of the pomace uses its own discontinuous bain-marie still, designed by the owners themselves. At the end of the distillation process a high grade grappa (73 ° – 78 °) is obtained, which is placed in special stainless steel tanks waiting for subsequent processing.
