DISTILLATION AND REFINING: Distillation takes place partly in traditional bain-marie stills and partly in technologically advanced plants in such a way as to obtain the maximum aromatic yield and maximum finesse on the palate. Grappa is left to mature in 225 liter oak barrels for a period of over 18 months, of the same type used for the aging of Amarone della Valpolicella wine. The grapes from which the Amarone originates, namely Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara, coming from the Valpolicella area, are left to dry for at least 3 months before being vinified. The marcs, since their arrival in the distillery, have been treated and preserved with Grappa System®, a system conceived by Roberto Castagner, thanks to which it is possible to create a controlled fermentation, obtained with the addition of selected oenological yeasts. Grappa System® also guarantees the preservation of the pomace in an ideal environment, healthy and with the right pH level, inside tunnels of food-grade plastic film, at high pressure and in the absence of oxygen. This is the secret that allows the pomace to keep the aromas intact even for several weeks, in a completely natural way

A PIECE OF ADVICE… Fuoriclasse Leon Amarone is an excellent grappa after meals, alone or in combination with dark chocolate
