Bottega Grappa Invecchiata Tardiva is an aged grappa from Italy, whose unique base originates from the production of the renowned Amarone della Valpolicella. The distillation process utilises the pomace of selected dried grapes that were previously intended for the production of this time-honoured wine. In this way, La Tardiva combines the centuries-old Italian grappa tradition with modern methods of pomace distillation. The characteristic structure of the grape varieties used remains an essential element of the distillate. The grappa is then aged in wooden casks, which lends it additional depth and develops the notes of fine woods characteristic of this bottling. The name ‘Tardiva’ refers to the special connection to the dried grapes and their concentrated raw material.


Bottega La Tardiva Grappa Invecchiata is available at 38% ABV in a 0.5-litre bottle, complete with a gift box. The wood ageing gives the grappa its intense amber colour and combines the original structure of the pomace with the influences of the wood used. Honey, flowers, vanilla, grapes and fine woods characterise the profile described by Bottega and underline the elegant style of this bottling. With La Tardiva, the Italian house of Bottega combines traditional methods with modern distillation techniques, creating a matured grappa that highlights the connection between Amarone della Valpolicella, dried grapes and wood ageing. The presentation in a gift box also makes this bottling a fitting choice for connoisseurs of high-quality Italian spirits.
