Romano Levi Grappa Gentile alla Camomilla (75cl)

Romano Levi Grappa Gentile alla Camomilla is a chamomile-infused grappa from the small distillery in Neive, in Piedmont's Langhe. The recipe comes from the diaries of Lidia Levi, Romano's sister. It is distilled in single batches over an open flame, from the pomace of Nebbiolo (Barbaresco), Dolcetto d'Alba and Barbera d'Alba. After about six months in barrel, fresh chamomile flowers macerate in the grappa for three to four weeks before it is filtered. The colour is light yellow. The nose shows flowers and fresh herbs with chamomile, and the palate is soft and pleasant, with chamomile carried in a pure grappa character.
