Magnoberta Marta, Grappa del Piemonte Riserva 1997 70CL
For over a century, the Magnoberta family has distilled with care, craft, and continuity. To mark 100 years of heritage, the fifth generation steps forward with a series of limited‑edition grappas — each named for a family member and shaped by the character they bring to the distillery. These releases honour an art preserved since 1918 while signalling the future of Magnoberta: new colours, new flavours, and a renewed commitment to excellence.
