Nardini Grappa Riserva 3 Year

Nardini Grappa Riserva 3 Year is where Italy's oldest and most celebrated grappa house shows what patience can do to a spirit that most drinkers have only ever encountered young and sharp. Founded in 1779 by Bortolo Nardini at the foot of the Venetian Alps in Bassano del Grappa, Nardini has been perfecting the art of Italian grappa for nearly 250 years — and the Riserva is the expression that converts the uninitiated into lifelong grappa believers. Made from a carefully selected blend of pomace from Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot, and Friulano grapes from the alpine foothills of Friuli and the Veneto, distilled using a combination of pot still, bain-marie, and column techniques before aging a minimum of three years in Slavonian oak barrels — the same fine-grained Eastern European oak used by the finest Croatian and Italian wine producers. The Whisky Exchange describes it as reminiscent of a lowland Scotch malt in style — and for whisky lovers curious about Italian spirits, this is the grappa that makes that connection click. The nose is fragrant, delicate, and harmonious with tropical fruit, apple blossom, marzipan, and soft grape aromas, while the palate is intense and complex but with a smooth texture — almond, cherry, vanilla, coconut, ginger, and toasty oak notes weaving through a long, beautifully persistent finish. Bottled at 40% ABV. Buy Nardini Grappa Riserva 3 Year online with fast shipping right to your door.
