The Dellavalle Grappa Affinata in botti da Passito di Pantelleria 2007 is a rare, cask-aged speciality from the Distilleria Roberto Dellavalle in Vigliano d’Asti, Piedmont. For this particularly high-quality bottling, selected pomace is gently distilled in small copper stills to preserve the aromas, and then aged in casks previously used for the famous Passito di Pantelleria. These sweet wine casks originate from the Sicilian island of Pantelleria and are renowned for their intense aromas of sun-dried Zibibbo grapes. Maturation in Passito casks imparts a warm, fruit-driven depth to the grappa, as well as an elegant sweetness that blends harmoniously with the distillate’s clean structure. Bottled at 42 per cent ABV and presented in an elegant wooden box, this 2007 vintage edition is one of the more exclusive barrel-aged grappas in the Dellavalle portfolio.


The long ageing in Passito casks shapes the aromatic profile with notes of ripe fruit, gentle hints of raisins and subtle Mediterranean spice. At the same time, the grappa retains its Piedmontese clarity and precision of distillation, creating a complex, harmoniously balanced overall profile. This grappa impressively demonstrates how elegant oak nuances and variety-typical freshness blend to create a finely structured, warm and long-lasting taste experience.
