Grappa di Barolo 700ml

Wine Description for Grappa di Barolo 700ml by Roagna

Colour & Appearance

Crystal clear and water-pale in the glass, with that characteristic brilliance that distinguishes fine grappa. The viscosity reveals itself in elegant tears on the glass rim – a sign of the powerful alcohol structure and meticulous distillation.

Nose

Intense and multi-layered: dried rose petals, cherry stones and dark chocolate mingle with hints of liquorice and tobacco. The floral notes typical of Nebbiolo pomace blend with spicy accents of white pepper and a fine tertiary aromatics reminiscent of leather and truffle. After a few minutes in the glass, additional nuances of orange zest and herbs of the Macchia unfold.

Palate

Powerful yet remarkably elegant for 45% alcohol. The texture is silky-warm, never burning. On the palate, ripe cherry, cloves and a fine bitterness of cocoa beans dominate. The structure displays depth and complexity – testament to the quality of the Nebbiolo pomace from Barolo vineyard sites and the artisanal distillation craftsmanship of the Roagna family.

Finish

Remarkably long and warming, with lingering echoes of dried fruits, cinnamon and a subtle mineral note. The warmth remains elegant and balanced, never becoming aggressive – the hallmark of traditional Piedmontese grappa craftsmanship.

Terroir & Origin

Distilled from the noble Nebbiolo pomace of Roagna’s Barolo production, one of the most tradition-steeped producers of Barbaresco. The family has worked with the same vineyards for generations and brings this philosophy of terroir fidelity into their grappa as well.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Produced from Nebbiolo pomace using traditional steam distillation. The pomace originates from wines aged in large wooden casks – this traditional vinification transfers itself to the character of the grappa.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Classically as a digestif after an opulent meal with Brasato al Barolo or Castelmagno cheese. Excellent with dark chocolate containing at least 70% cocoa or an espresso.

Special Characteristics

An authentic piece of Piedmontese distillation craftsmanship from a house that places tradition above trends. Roagna belongs to the purists of the region – this grappa is the distilled expression of this philosophy.
