Fabiano Grappa di Amarone della Valpolicella Rugola

Fabiano Rugola is a grappa distilled from the pomace left after Amarone production, made from Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Croatina. The fresh pomace goes straight to the still and is distilled by the discontinuous method, which keeps as much as possible of the raw material's character. It then spends nine months in acacia wood casks. It is honey yellow in the glass with a very distinctive aroma from the acacia. The palate is spicy, with vanilla, cinnamon, liquorice, cocoa and tobacco, and the finish is soft and lasting. Serve it at 16-17°C in a small tulip glass, on its own after a meal or with dark chocolate.
