Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Mazzetti D’Altavilla Grappa Barolo wraps you in a warm, velvety embrace, its deep amber hue hinting at the complexity within. Crafted in Italy with an ABV of 43.00%, this grappa is distilled from the prized pomace of Nebbiolo grapes used for Barolo wine, capturing their signature notes of dried rose petals, ripe cherry, and a whisper of spice. The spirit’s time spent resting in oak barrels imparts subtle layers of vanilla and toasted nuts that linger on the palate. Whether savored alongside a square of dark chocolate or paired with aged cheese, Mazzetti D’Altavilla Grappa Barolo elevates every moment into something memorable and indulgent.
