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 the traditional method in small copper stills in order to preserve the fine, varietal flavours unchanged. The grappa is then matured in Picolit barriques, a barrel that previously contained the precious southern Italian dessert wine Picolit. This ageing process characterises the distillate with a fine sweetness, warm fruity notes and an elegant woody aroma resulting from the Langs barrel ageing. Bottled at 42 per cent by volume and presented in a high-quality wooden box, this limited edition grappa emphasises its special character.


Maturing in Picolit barrels, the grappa develops a multi-layered structure that harmoniously combines ripe yellow fruit, delicate honey notes and the natural, clear distillation signature of the Dellavalle family. The combination of the Piedmontese distilling tradition and the aromatic depth of Picolit wine gives this grappa an exceptionally soft, round and warm style. This makes this edition one of the house's finest cask maturations and is aimed at lovers of complex, elegantly matured grappas.

This Grappa in Barrique da Picolit 2007 is ideal with sweet specialities such as almond biscuits, honey tart, zabaglione or chocolate desserts. It also harmonises excellently with mature cheeses such as Taleggio, Pecorino or mild blue cheese, whose spiciness underlines its honey-fruity barrel notes.

In combination with dried fruit, figs or dark chocolate, it creates an elegant, harmonious pleasure experience.
