Tedeschi Amarone della Valpolicella
With 12 months of aging in oak barrels, this grappa takes on a luxurious amber hue and a layered bouquet of dried fruit, vanilla, and subtle spices. Made from the pomace of Glera grapes, it delivers a smooth, full-bodied experience that lingers on the palate. Each sip reveals the influence of the oak, with hints of noble wood and gentle spice that add warmth and depth. Enjoy with dark chocolate or almond pastries for a holiday treat.\

Malivoire Che Bello Sparkling VQA
A grappa of extraordinary character, the Riserva Privata Barricata is distilled from the same dried grapes used to produce the iconic Amarone della Valpolicella. After distillation, it matures for 18 months in Slavonian, Limousin, and American oak barrels, resulting in a rich amber color and an aromatic bouquet of honey, vanilla, cocoa, and delicate spices. Full-bodied, smooth, and persistent, this grappa is the ultimate indulgence.
