More questions
This barrel-aged grappa signed by Mazzetti presents a mature, balanced aromatic profile, supported by a color that shades into light amber. On the nose it reveals notes of toasted wood, vanilla and dried fruit, with a trace of sweet spices that does not overpower the distilled base. The palate is full and rounded: the warmth is well integrated, the texture soft and slightly oily, with good persistence that reveals the structure without being aggressive. The finish recalls toasted almond and a faint smoky note, making the whole harmonious.
It is best appreciated in a tasting glass, served just slightly cool, so you can perceive both the softness and the subtle residual freshness. It is an ideal companion to close a meal, particularly with dark chocolate, dry pastries or aged cheeses; the elegant boxed packaging also makes it a refined gift. For those seeking a spirit for contemplation, it offers an enveloping sip, characterful but without excess.

The story
The Mazzetti family began distilling in the Monferrato in 1846 when Filippo Mazzetti founded the first distillery in Montemagno; the activity later expanded and relocated to Altavilla Monferrato. The company has remained family-run for generations, establishing itself as a historic presence in the production of grappa and Piedmontese distillates.

Ageing
Ageing in casks and barriques; finishing practices in casks that previously held sherry, bourbon, vermouth and other selected woods; on-site ageing cellar for multi-year refinements.
