The Dellavalle Grappa in Barrique da Picolit 2007 is an elegantly matured speciality from the Distilleria Roberto Dellavalle in Vigliano d’Asti, Piedmont. For this exclusive vintage edition, selected pomace is distilled using traditional methods in small copper stills to preserve the delicate, variety-typical aromas intact. The grappa is then aged in a Picolit barrique – a cask that previously contained the precious southern Italian dessert wine Picolit. This ageing process imbues the spirit with a delicate sweetness, warm fruity notes and elegant woody aromas resulting from the extended cask ageing. The bottling at 42 per cent by volume, together with its presentation in a high-quality wooden box, emphasises the special character of this limited-edition vintage grappa.


Through its maturation in a Picolit cask, the grappa develops a multi-layered structure in which ripe yellow fruits, delicate hints of honey and the natural, distinct distilling signature of the Dellavalle house blend harmoniously together. The combination of the Piedmontese distilling tradition and the aromatic depth of Picolit wine lends this grappa an exceptionally smooth, rounded and warm style. This edition is therefore one of the house’s finest barrel-aged grappas and is aimed at connoisseurs of complex, elegantly matured grappas.

This 2007 Grappa in Barrique da Picolit is ideal with sweet specialities such as almond biscuits, honey tart, zabaione or chocolate desserts. It also pairs superbly with mature cheeses such as Taleggio, Pecorino or mild blue cheese, whose savoury notes complement its honeyed, fruity oak character. Served neat at a slightly higher drinking temperature as a digestif after Mediterranean dishes, it reveals its full aromatic complexity. When paired with dried fruit, figs or dark chocolate, it creates an elegant, harmonious tasting experience.
