NERD NOTES

Made from Nebbiolo grape pomace which is fermented and then distilled using the last direct-fire copper alembic still that remains in operation, all according to an old recipe from Serafino Levi.

After the pomace has been used, it is converted into still's fuel used the following the next season by being sun dried and formed into bricks.

The grappa is aged for 3 years in 700 litre Piemontese acacia wood casks.
