With great aromatic clarity, this Barbaresco grappa aged in barrique expresses the assertive character of Barbaresco pomace tempered by the barrel ageing. On the nose warm notes of vanilla and cocoa emerge, nuanced by a light toastiness and a spicy hint; the profile remains clear and not overbearing, with an underlying softness that accompanies without weighing it down. The sip is enveloping yet well balanced: sustained alcoholic warmth, a velvety texture and good persistence that leaves sweet and slightly bitter traces on the finish.

Ideal as an after‑meal treat or in a small glass for contemplation, it pairs with dark chocolate, aged cheeses or dry desserts based on dried fruit and nuts. Serve cool, without overdoing the ice, to appreciate the clarity of the aromas and the progression on the palate. Boxed, it maintains an elegant profile and represents a measured interpretation of wood on the raw material, suited to those seeking structure and discreet aromatic nuances without losing the original character.
