On the palate the sip is enveloping but balanced, warm and silky, with a pleasant sapidity that keeps the drinking lively. Notes of toasted hazelnut and dried fruit intertwine with a light citrus hint, while the finish remains long and clean. It is best enjoyed neat in a tulip glass; a few minutes of opening softens it and reveals sweeter nuances. Excellent for contemplative sipping after a meal, it pairs well with dark chocolate, dry pastries and aged cheeses.

Ageing
Maturation in wooden/oak barrels for the cognacs and ageing in various wooden casks (in some cases barrique) for the assorted grappas.
