Grappa Riserva
Chianti Classico
The distillation of grape pomace has ancient origins, and Tuscan rural tradition is rich with stories connected to grappa. Once regarded in popular culture as a remedy against the cold and a digestive aid, so much so that it was known as the “poor man’s doctor”, this spirit has gradually been rediscovered and transformed into a refined, high-quality product.

Production Method
A.D. 1051 Chianti Classico Grappa Riserva is produced by distilling fresh pomace from Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino, and Malvasia Nera grapes. The pomace is carefully selected and distilled shortly after pressing to preserve its full aromatic integrity. The slow distillation process gently extracts the finest components of the raw material, enhancing the varietal aromas and expressive character of the pomace.
The spirit is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 18 months, acquiring balance, smoothness, and complexity while preserving the distinctive fragrant notes of fresh grape pomace. The result is an elegant and harmonious grappa, where the spicy and vanilla nuances imparted by the oak blend seamlessly with the original fruity and floral aromas of the distillate.
