Diciotto Lune Extra Old Grappa emblematic of the culture, care and art of distillation. Obtained from water-bath distillation in a discontinuous still of 5 Trentino marcs such as Marzemino, Teroldego, Merlot, Muscat and Chardonnay, it is aged in small casks of cherry, ash, oak and locust, each conferring its own characteristics in terms of fragrance, aroma, color and flavor. The ageing process follows the rhythms of nature: moon by moon, 18 months go by.
Tasting notes
Nose
Intense, sweet.
Texture
Soft and dry.
The fragrance acquires intensity, becoming more ethereal and harmonious; the taste loses its initial roughness and rounds out to offer an elegant, silky mouthfeel. The color takes on a warm, amber hue. The Master Distiller follows the evolution of the maturation process until the ideal blend and total harmony between wood and grappa are achieved. The result is Le Diciotto Lune Marzadro, a refined Grappa fit for meditation.
