Grappa Agricola by Bepi Tosolini distillery
Bepi Tosolini’s Grappa Agricola is a premium distillate crafted according to the renowned “Tosolini method” within 48 hours of pressing to preserve the intense aromas of fresh red grape pomace. The grapes used come from vineyards with a yield of less than 50 quintals per hectare, ensuring superior product quality. With a full strength of 50°, this grappa is aimed at a mature and discerning audience seeking a strong and decisive distillate that evokes the elegance of a bygone era and true rural nobility.
Grape Selection and Distillation Method
The artisanal distillation is carried out discontinuously using bain-marie steam stills, which enhance the organoleptic characteristics of the fresh pomace from Cabernet and Merlot grapes. The grappa is then matured for 6 months in stainless steel containers, maintaining a crystal-clear color and an intense and elegant body.
Sensory Characteristics
- Aromatic Profile and Palate: The grappa is distinguished by its notes of sultana raisins and ripe berries. It is highly persistent due to its nearly full strength, with a clean and decisive finish reminiscent of the classic Friulian grappa in intensity and aroma.
- Color and Body: It presents a crystal-clear color and an intense and elegant body, promising a refined and authentic sensory experience.
Serving Suggestions
To best enjoy Bepi Tosolini’s Grappa Agricola, it is recommended to serve it at room temperature in the classic tulip glass. During the summer months, the ideal serving temperature is cellar temperature, around 16/18°C, to enhance its aromatic notes and sensory complexity.
