The Dellavalle Grappa Affinata in botti da Marsala 2007 is a high-quality, cask-aged speciality from the Distilleria Roberto Dellavalle in Vigliano d’Asti, Piedmont. For this limited-edition vintage, selected pomace is gently distilled in small copper stills to preserve the delicate, varietal aromas in their purest form. The 2007 vintage grappa is then matured in selected Marsala casks that previously held the famous Sicilian fortified wine. This barrel ageing lends the distillate a warm, complex structure, in which the distinct Piedmontese character blends harmoniously with the sweet, spicy depth of the Marsala. The presentation in an elegant wooden box emphasises the special character of this aged bottling.


During the long ageing phase, the Marsala casks impart aromas of dried fruit, caramel, vanilla and subtle woody notes, which blend smoothly with the grappa’s natural freshness and structure. Bottled at 42 per cent by volume, this grappa displays a full-bodied, smooth yet aromatically complex style. The combination of Piedmontese distilling expertise and southern Italian cask character makes it a fine rarity in the Dellavalle range.

This Grappa Affinata in botti da Marsala 2007 pairs superbly with panettone, almond biscuits, chocolate tart or hazelnut cake, whose sweetness and toasted flavours perfectly complement its oak notes. It also harmonises beautifully with mature hard cheeses, tangy blue-veined cheeses or dried fruit. Served neat at a slightly higher drinking temperature as a digestif following hearty Italian dishes, it reveals its full complexity. When paired with figs, dates or dark chocolate, it creates a particularly elegant, Mediterranean-inspired culinary experience.
