The distillation process follows traditional methods that preserve the authentic and intense aromas of the grapes. The selection of the pomace is rigorous, ensuring that only the highest quality is used, guaranteeing a grappa with a rich and deep aromatic profile. After distillation, Il Duca matures for a period in small wooden barrels, which enrich the distillate with delicate notes of vanilla, spices, and a light touch of oak, smooth on the palate yet with a well-defined character.
Grappa Berta Il Duca Chianti presents a clear and crystalline color. On the nose, it offers a complex aromatic bouquet, with scents of ripe fruit and lightly spiced floral nuances. In the mouth, it is smooth, elegant, with a perfect balance between alcohol and flavors, ending with a persistent and rewarding finish.
Perfect as a digestive after meals, it pairs beautifully with dark chocolate or can simply be enjoyed on its own, enveloped by its refined essences. Grappa Berta Il Duca Chianti is undoubtedly a prestigious choice for lovers of quality distillates and represents a magnificent expression of the Chianti terroir in distilled form.

Distillation
Steam distillation with discontinuous small boilers (caldaiette discontinue); three-step process: first distillation to obtain the flemma, cold filtration, and second distillation to separate the heart; both pomace and wine/grape are distilled for different productions.
Ageing
Aging first in large Slavonian oak vats (vat cellar) and prolonged in barriques and tonneaux (Tronçais d’Allier oak) in underground cellars; some products mature for years in naturally thermoregulated environments; an R&D cellar is used for experiments.
