The Luigi Francoli Grappa La Grande in Barrique is a truly masterfully crafted grappa that combines the tradition and innovative strength of the Francoli family distillery. Since its foundation in 1875 in Ghemme, in the Italian region of Piedmont, the distillery has developed into one of the best-known and largest distilleries in the region. Francoli stands for the highest quality and traditional craftsmanship, which is also shown to its best advantage in this grappa.

The distillery is not only known for its excellent spirits, but also for its commitment to sustainable production. As a pioneer in environmentally friendly grappa production, Francoli was the first grappa distillery in the world to achieve a completely carbon-neutral carbon footprint. This is achieved by using plant-based fuels for the distillation process, which have a significantly lower environmental impact than conventional energy sources. Francoli is also committed to nature conservation: as part of the "Impatto Zero" project, the company has created a protected area of 340,000 square metres in Costa Rica to help conserve natural resources.

Grappa La Grander in barrique is an example of this unique combination of traditional craftsmanship and a modern, environmentally conscious approach. After distillation, the grappa matures for seven years in barrique barrels, which gives it an exceptional woody and vanilla flavour and underlines the complexity and depth of the grappa.

Tasting Note

Colour: Deep golden amber colour with a slight shimmer.

Nose: An elegant blend of fruity aromas, vanilla and a fine oak spice, accompanied by a subtle hint of caramel.

Flavour: Full-bodied and velvety, with a harmonious interplay of fruity notes of apples and plums, complemented by a fine oak and vanilla note that emphasises the complexity of the grappa.

Finish: Langs and soft, with a warm oak spice and a mild sweetness that lingers gently.

The Luigi Francoli Grappa La Grande in Barrique is ideal for pure enjoyment to experience the flavours and complexity in their full depth. It goes perfectly with strong cheeses such as pecorino or gorgonzola, but also with dark chocolate or coffee desserts such as tiramisu. As an after-dinner drink with a good cigar, this grappa also allows its flavours to come into their own.
