The Dellavalle Grappa Affinata in botti da Malvasia 2007 is a finely matured vintage bottling from the Distilleria Roberto Dellavalle in Vigliano d’Asti, Piedmont. For this special edition, selected pomace is traditionally distilled in small copper stills to preserve the distillate’s characteristic clarity and finesse. The grappa is then aged in Malvasia casks that previously held the aromatic, sweet and fruity Malvasia wine. This ageing process lends the grappa a warm, fruity depth as well as the characteristic elegance of this Mediterranean grape variety. The combination of Piedmontese distilling expertise and the expressive cask profile makes the 2007 vintage grappa a particularly rare find. Presented in a high-quality wooden box, this bottling ranks among the more exclusive cask-aged releases from Dellavalle.


During the long ageing period in the Malvasia cask, complex aromas of ripe fruit, subtle floral notes and a harmonious sweetness develop, blending smoothly with the grappa’s natural structure. Bottled at 42 per cent by volume, this edition displays a softly balanced, elegant style reminiscent of sun-ripened grapes, delicate herbal notes and mild oak. This results in a warm, rounded and long-lasting flavour profile that reflects the typical fruitiness of Malvasia in a refined, cask-aged interpretation.

This Grappa Affinata in botti da Malvasia 2007 is an excellent accompaniment to sweet specialities such as almond biscuits, hazelnut cake, zabaione or delicate fruit tarts. It also pairs beautifully with mature cheeses such as Taleggio, Pecorino or mild blue cheese, whose savoury notes elegantly complement its fruity oaked character. Served neat at a slightly higher drinking temperature as a digestif after Mediterranean dishes, it reveals its full complexity. When paired with figs, dried fruit or high-quality dark chocolate, it creates particularly harmonious moments of indulgence.
