Capovilla Grappa Merlot vol.41% cl.50

Vittorio ‘Gianni’ Capovilla is recognized worldwide as one of the best, if not the best, distiller in the world, especially for his passion: fruit distillates, rums and grappas.

Capovilla defines his excellent grappas as the noble expression of a "poor" product.

Capovilla Merlot Grappa is obtained by double-pass distillation in small copper stills in a bain-marie of pomace from Merlot grapes.

Vittorio has made the excellence of the raw material and the purity of the distillates his true reason for living.

The processing that Capovilla has chosen for the prized raw material is highly artisanal.

The result is indeed very pure grappas and distillates, for true connoisseurs.

Capovilla Merlot Grappa smells of blackberries and blueberries with a note of toasted hazelnuts. In the mouth it is gentle and round with good complexity and persistence.

After distillation, the distillate is stored in steel barrels for 2 years, a process called by Vittorio Capovilla “rest-esterification”. It is then bottled diluted with spring water and brought to a strength of 41% vol. without adding sugars, aromas or anything else.
