2019 Distina - Grappa Barbera Bonarda Barrique 0.5L

$153.00

Producer | Distina

Region | Emilia-Romagna

Variety | Barbera, Bonarda

Alcohol | 52%

Pomace is fermented along with its own must, immediately stocked after pressing and distilled in a couple of days. Double distilled in 200L copper alembic ‘a bagnomaria’. The spirit is aged in stainless steel tank for 6 to 12 month before alcohol dilution to allow the extraction of esters and aromas. Following 8 months of ageing in 50 litres oak barrel, which distinguishes it from the 'regular' version. The fruitiness remains, but the wood flavour makes it fuller, richer and more complex.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

At the age of 27, Claudio Campaner left Milan and the ‘city life’ to move to the small village of Bacedasco Alto, in Piacenza province, on the border with the neighbouring province of Parma.  Claudio’s goal was to grow grapes, make wine, but also to distil, hence the name Distina, a portmanteau of ’Dis-tilleria’ and ‘Can-tina’ (cellar in Italian).

At Distina, the principles of organic farming and sustainability has been followed from the very beginning. The vines are strictly local, traditional varieties: Bonarda, Barbera, Moscato Bianco, Marsanne, Ortrugo and Malvasia di Candia Aromatica. The grappa and spirits Claudi produces don’t have that nasty, aggressive bite you often encounter; they are elegant and soft, reflecting the pure spirit of the fruit used to make them.
