Romano Levi Grappa di Barbaresco (Red Face) 3+ Year (70cl, 42%)

This is a grappa from the Romano Levi distillery in Neive, in the Langhe, made from the pomace of Nebbiolo grapes grown for Barbaresco DOCG wine. It is bottled at 42% ABV in a 70cl bottle. The pomace is cured underground and aged for at least 36 months in classic Piedmontese barrels. The distillery still works with the same hand-crafted process, using the last open-fire still in Europe, and in small quantities. The result is a grappa with an intense taste and a balanced character.
