Winemaking
Levi's grappa is produced in single batches on an open flame, with the marc submerged. After a short aging period in barrel (6 months) the grappa is picked up and camomile flowers are added. After 3-4 weeks of maceration, it is processed and filtered through a system specifically designed by Lidia Levi, able to keep all the scent of the chamomile and the unique taste of the grappa.
Certification of ageing in wood: our Master Distiller and Controller certify that prior to bottling and processed with Camomile this Reserve Grappa has been aged in wood for the above length of time.
Tasting Notes
Pale straw yellow. The nose is gently floral, with fresh chamomile and dried herbs sitting over a clean grape spirit core. The palate is soft for its strength, with honeyed flower notes and a light herbal lift, and the chamomile carries through a smooth, lingering finish. An easy entry point into grappa.
