Grape varieties
100% Barbera
Notes
Amber in colour; orange, hazelnut, tobacco and honey on the nose; soft and enveloping on the palate; at the beginning an explosion of flavours reminiscent of marc, raisins, dried fruit and almonds; then a light note of smoke, peat and malt; the grappa is silky, enveloping and long lasting.
Vinification
24 months in wooden casks, followed by 24 months maturing in used Single Malt Scotch Whisky casks. These come from the most prestigious Scottish distilleries Lagavulin, Caol Ila and Mortlach.
Producer
BERTA
Distilleria Berta is located in Monferrato, a picturesque, hilly landscape in northern Piedmont. The distillery was founded in 1947 by Paolo Berta. The Berta family had been working here as winegrowers for some time. In 2002, the distillery was extensively renovated, modernized and expanded with a spacious extension for the barrel cellar and steel tanks. Today, Berta is one of Italy's leading grappa producers, managed by Paolo's son Enrico. Around 400,000 bottles of grappa of the highest quality are produced each year. We can look back on a wonderful, long-standing and friendly collaboration with Berta. As a great sign of trust, they gave us the right to represent their grappa in Switzerland as general importer.
