More questions
Elegant and full of character, the Grappa Agontano Barricata by Garofoli displays the typical profile of a wood-aged distillate: a warm amber color and a bouquet that opens with sweet notes of vanilla and honey, followed by hints of dried fruit and a light toastiness. On the nose it is never excessive; warm tones coexist with a balsamic touch that keeps everything fresh and restrained. The sensation is smooth but never heavy, with the alcoholic warmth well integrated into the spirit. The result is a measured distillate, ready for those seeking intensity without weight.
On the palate it confirms the olfactory promise: an enveloping sip, full body and balanced structure, where roundness gives way to a discreet sapidity that enhances drinkability. Long, caressing finish, with returns of sweet spices and bitter cocoa that make it suitable for after-dinner pairing with dark chocolate or aged cheeses, but also as a solitary meditation in a warm, clean glass, slightly warm to bring out all the aromas.

The story
Casa Vinicola Gioacchino Garofoli has operated in the Marche since the early 20th century as a family-run business managed by multiple generations. The company is based in the province of Ancona (Castelfidardo) and carries out its viticultural activity on vineyards located in the Castelli di Jesi and Conero areas; the production of spirits mainly derives from the pomace and wines of its own harvests.
Distillation
Batch pot still with water bath (batch/boiler distillation; suitable for grappa and the company's brandy).
Ageing
The brandy is aged for over 12 years in wood; some grappa (e.g. Agontano Barricata) are finished in oak casks for periods of months to years; other expressions (e.g. Podium Bianca) are released as unaged 'white' grappa.
