Tasting Notes

Based on the characteristics of Magnoberta's premium Riserva grappas, the Alessandro 2006 is expected to be a refined and complex spirit:

• Colour: Amber yellow (suggesting aging in wood).
  
• Aroma: Intense and persistent, with a blend of complex notes such as vanilla, toasted hazelnut, black cherry, dried plum, and a hint of liquorice.
  
• Palate: Soft, smooth, and well-balanced. It likely offers a rich, velvety texture with a very long, persistent finish that reiterates the notes of dried fruit and wood spices.

This grappa is suited for pairing with dark chocolate, pastries, or enjoyed as a meditation spirit.
