Tasting Notes

While specific tasting notes for this limited 2001 vintage are less common in general marketing, the Grappa del Piemonte di Barbera Riserva Emma 2001 typically exhibits the characteristics of a long-aged Barbera distillate:

• Colour: Amber/deep gold due to aging in wood.
  
• Nose: Intense and complex. It is likely to show fruity notes of cherry (characteristic of Barbera), mixed with the dried fruit, vanilla, and slight spicy aromas typical of extended wood maturation.
  
• Palate: Smooth, velvety, and structured. The Barbera grape provides a solid structure, while the long aging softens the alcohol.
  
• Finish: Persistent and harmonious.

   Serving Suggestions

• Temperature: Best served at 16/18°C.
  
• Glassware: Small tulip-shaped glasses to appreciate the aroma.
  
• Pairing: Excellent as a meditation spirit or as a digestif after a meal.

This grappa is part of Magnoberta's commitment to traditional, high-quality Piedmontese distillation methods, focusing on preserving the noble parts of the marc.
