Grappa Pini Pieno Grado Riserva Teroldego barrique 59% vol. Zeni Schwarzhof Distillery

Description: 
Bright amber colour. Intense alcoholic aroma of vanilla fruit. Warm and enveloping taste with notes of roasted fruits. 

Teroldego Rotaliano or "Oro del Tirolo" is a likely interpretation of the phrase "Tyrolean gold". 
The Austrian rulers who ruled Trentino prized this wine for its intense colour, raspberry and blackberry scent and full, rounded flavour, free of acidity and tannins: in other words, Tyrolean gold. 

Vinification: 
The colourful, sugary red grapes are harvested at the end of September. 
After the wine has been separated, the marcs are taken directly to the distillery's vats. 

The resulting grappa is stored in barrels made of fine French oak. The barrels are filled only once, three quarters full, and then "forgotten" for ten years. Despite the loss of evaporation, the barrels are not refilled so as not to alter the organoleptic characteristics of the grappa during ageing. After ten years, the best barrels, without dilution, are bottled with the original quality and natural loss. 

Bottle size: 
500 ml - 50 cl - 0.5 lt. 

Producer: 
Zeni Distillery 
In 1994 the alembic was modified in order to obtain an even more pure, fine product capable of transmitting the aromas of fresh pomace. In the same year, the aging room where the Pini grappa is refined and aged was expanded; the first Pini grappa was born in 1984 with only six years of aging in oak to pass to that of 10 years. The goal of the future, perhaps of the new generation, will be that of a grappa aged 20 years.
