Berta Elisi Grappa NV 750ml (750ml)

Clean, warming, and intense, the Elisi Grappa wafts with scents of chocolate-wrapped cherry, orchard fruits, caramel, toasted nuts and a kiss of spice. This Grappa feels silky and rich in the mouth, suffusing the palate with flavor notes, elegant alcohol, and just a touch of sweetness--it's a finely balanced liqueur that caps a delicious dinner with deft balance and perfect heat. Crafting the non-vintage Elisi is a two-step process; first, Berta distills the component grape pomaces in copper pots and ages the component wines in oak, and then the distillery assembles a blend of 50% five-year-old Barbera grappa with 25% each eight-year-old Nebbiolo Grappa and three-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon Grappa; after the blend has been composed, the Elisi Grappa ages for a year in oak.

Distillerie Berta is a leading family-owned grappa producer based in Piedmont, northern Italy. It was born thanks to the meeting between Distillerie Berta and a non-profit association from Milan, Fraternità e Amicizia, which provides assistance for those experiencing some form of difficulty in their life. The two have come together to create a unique product founded on the sense of solidarity which has always inspired the historical distillery from Piedmont, and the love of art fed by the talent of the youngsters of Fraternità e Amicizia.
