Winemaking
Moscato Levi's grappa is produced in single batch on an open flame alembic, with the marc submerged. To distill, the Moscato grapes have to be fermented and next distilled. Perfected by Romano Levi and still adhered to strictly today, this procedure ensures perfect preservation of the aromatic components.
Tasting Notes
Pale and transparent. The nose is all Moscato, with intense grapey perfume, orange blossom and ripe stone fruit. The palate is fruity and full bodied with a light touch of sweetness, rounded and generous, before a fragrant, warming finish. An aromatic, approachable grappa.
