Aged grappa

Aged Grappa – the elegance of barrel-aged perfection

Aged grappa (Grappa Invecchiata or Riserva) is a luxurious version of the traditional Italian distillate, aged in wooden barrels. This process gives it a smoother texture, deeper flavor, and complex aroma with notes of vanilla, caramel, dried fruit and fine spices.

Why choose aged grappa?
