On the nose it is open but not intrusive, with a texture that invites a sip; on the palate it shows softness and roundness, a controlled warmth and a subtle freshness that balance the sensuality of the aromas, while the finish remains pleasantly spicy and clean. The character is refined, intended for those who appreciate restraint and finesse rather than outright opulence. Boxed and carefully presented, it is ideal as a gift or for a contemplative after-dinner moment. Best enjoyed in a tulip glass, at a slightly tempered temperature, to showcase the complexity without overwhelming the nose; it pairs well with dark chocolate, sweet tobaccos or aged cheeses, but also holds up to the solitary contemplation of a long, measured sip. A Napoleon by Daniel Bouju, offered by Folonari, that speaks of terroir and balance.

For the Daniel Bouju cognacs: distillation in a traditional discontinuous pot still (historic still of 16.5 hl) and subsequent maturation in oak barrels; for the Tenute Folonari grappas: discontinuous distillation using steam-heated copper stills.
Ageing
Maturation in wooden/oak barrels for the cognacs and ageing in various wooden casks (in some cases barrique) for the assorted grappas.
