The Grappa di Ramandolo by Giacomo Ceschia Distillery
The Grappa Ramandolo by Ceschia represents a true symbol of Friulian distillation tradition. This grappa is presented in the characteristic straw-covered bottle, a detail that immediately evokes the connection with history and Giacomo Ceschia’s original recipe. Grappa Ramandolo is designed for those seeking the authenticity and pure essence of Friulian grappa, a distillate that encapsulates centuries of tradition and artisanal mastery.
Raw Materials and Distillation
The pomace from Ramandolo grapes forms the base of this grappa. The grape variety imparts unique characteristics to the product. Distillation takes place in copper pot stills, a traditional method. This allows for the production of high-quality grappa. The distillation is slow to preserve the organoleptic qualities. The grappa is aged for at least three years. This period develops the aromatic bouquet and balance.
Organoleptic Characteristics
Grappa Ramandolo boasts excellent transparency and luminosity, characteristics that testify to its purity and high quality. Its taste is dry, strong, and full-bodied, typical of Friulian grappas, and it represents an intense and satisfying tasting experience for the palate. On the nose, the grappa offers pronounced floral and fruity notes, with hints of wisteria, elderflower, and red berries, enriched by a bitter almond finish that adds a note of complexity and depth.
Tasting Recommendations
To fully appreciate Grappa Ramandolo, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 12-14°C. A tulip-shaped glass is ideal for enhancing its aromatic qualities, allowing the fragrances to be released and offering a complete sensory experience. This grappa is perfect enjoyed on its own as a digestif after a meal, but it can also accompany aged cheeses or chocolate-based desserts, enhancing their fruity and aromatic notes.
