Distilling

the “Carlo Bocchino” pot still method. This grappa is distilled after removing “heads and tails” using copper columns with mushroom-shaped plates.

Ageing

during ageing, the alcohol content is progressively lowered to the intended level. The grappas that go into our

Cuvée di Barriques are cellared separately for a long time in 225-litre Allier, Troncais and Limousin oak.

Assembling

ageing is followed by the final blending process;each barrique is attentively assessed looking for its specific potential contribution to the final taste. Finally, the grappas are skillfully and patiently poured off into a larger cask, where the aromas of the different crus blend together.
