Bottega Alexander Exquisite Aqva Di Vita Grappa Invecchiata Prosecco 38% Vol. 0,7l

The Bottega Alexander Exquisite Aqva di Vita Grappa Invecchiata Prosecco is a fine, barrel-aged grape marc spirit made from the precious marc of Glera grapes - the golden yellow grape variety used to make the world-famous Prosecco. This grappa combines the aromatic freshness and elegance of its original wine with the depth and complexity that comes from careful ageing in wood.

It is produced with the utmost precision and in accordance with the traditional Italian art of distillation. Distillation takes place in traditional copper stills, in three phases at different temperatures, in order to preserve the fine aroma spectrum of the grapes in the best possible way. Vacuum distillation ensures a particularly gentle separation of the aromas, while bain-marie heating (indirect water bath process) guarantees a soft, balanced result.

The grappa then matures for 12 months in handmade oak barrels made from wood that has been dried in the open air for at least 24 months. This allows the wood to lose excess moisture and unwanted bitter substances before the staves are cut, toasted and assembled into barrels. During this ageing process, the grappa develops its typical golden yellow color, a pronounced aromatic complexity and its characteristically soft structure.
