Bottega Grappa Fumè Invecchiata is an exceptional aged grappa from Italy, which, at 38 % vol. in a 0.7-litre bottle, combines traditional distillation techniques with a special cask-ageing process. For this speciality, Bottega Distilleria uses carefully selected pomace from the Glera grape variety, from which the world-famous Prosecco is also produced. The aromatic, still-fresh grape skins are processed in traditional copper stills using a gentle three-stage distillation process. Distillation takes place under vacuum and with indirect heating in a water bath, ensuring that the delicate fruit aromas and the natural characteristics of the grapes are optimally preserved.


The Bottega Grappa Fumè Invecchiata is then aged for 12 months in oak casks that have previously undergone a special smoking process. The wood, which has been air-dried for at least 24 months, develops a unique aromatic profile through subsequent toasting and special treatment, lending the grappa additional depth and complexity. During ageing, warm notes of dried fruit, vanilla and sweet spices develop, accompanied by a subtle smokiness. The elegant presentation is rounded off by the distinctive bottle shaped like a drop of grappa, which emphasises the premium quality of this Italian speciality.
