Barricaded Grappa: the art of Italian distillation aged in wood
Barricaded Grappa represents an excellence in the universe of Italian distillates, combining the tradition of artisanal distillation with aging in wooden barrels, which gives it unparalleled aromatic complexity and depth. This distillate is the result of the distillation of pomace, mainly from native Italian grapes, which after being pressed for wine production, find a new life in grappa.
The history of grappa is a story of redemption and ancient wisdom. Originally considered the distillate of farmers, today grappa has earned a place of honor on tables around the world, thanks to the quality and variety of its expressions. Barricaded Grappa, in particular, gains its distinctive character through aging in barrique, small wooden barrels that give the distillate complex aromas and flavors.
The oak barrels used for aging often come from France or Italy, and are the same used for aging prestigious wines or whiskey. During the aging process, which can last from a few months to several years, the grappa is enriched with notes of vanilla, sweet spices, caramel, and cocoa, in a perfect balance that softens the alcoholic strength of the distillate and enhances its structure.
The organoleptic profile of Barricaded Grappa is a symphony of sensations: on the nose, it is intense, with aromas reminiscent of orange peel, honey, and dried fruit. On the palate, it is enveloping and warm, with a robust body and a persistence that invites a contemplative sip. The woody and toasted notes intertwine with hints of tobacco and chocolate, offering a long and harmonious finish.
Perfect for those who love characterful distillates, Barricaded Grappa is the ideal companion for moments of relaxation, perhaps accompanied by a good book or after an important meal, to beautifully conclude a special evening. It can be enjoyed on its own, at room temperature, or paired with dark chocolate-based desserts or aged cheeses, enhancing their qualities.
