Tre soli Tre 2009 7 43% – Berta – Piedmont, Italy This grappa made from the grape is aged on wood and is overwhelming with great personality. Splendid concert of sensations in which the mature fruit (blackcurrant, apricot, marasca cherries), cocoa and the vanilla stand out

Bric Del Gaian 2007 8 43% – Berta – Piedmont, Italy Amber in colour and produced from the Moscato grape, this grappa is complex yet subtle. Hints of sage, fruits of the forest and grapefruit stand out

Oltre Il Vallo (Beyond the Wall) 6 43% – Berta – Piedmont, Italy A fine grappa, aged in casks of single malt Scotch whisky, from the ancient and finest Scottish distilleries of Lagavulin, Caol Ila and Mortlach. Two very dierent cultures, united in the passion for distillation. The name “Oltre iI Vallo" recalls how nobody has ever managed to go beyond the old Hadrian fortifications, the wall that was the most northern border of the Roman Empire in Britain for much of the period of Roman rule over these lands. A fortification that divided the island into two parts. No-one could ever get past this boundary, until today, when the Highlands and Monferrato symbolically unite in this aged distillate. An amber colour ”Oltre iI Vallo" is characterized by a smooth taste and charm. At first there is an explosion of perfumes ranging from the notes of grape, raisins, dried fruit and almonds. These sensations then give way to a slight hint of smoke, peat and malt. Silky and enveloping, it lingers in the mouth and confirms soft olfactory sensations, an aromatic bouquet reminiscent of oranges, hazelnuts and, a finally hints of tobacco and honey.

Nibbio 4.5 40% – Berta – Piedmont, Italy Produced from the Moscato grape, this light and elegant grappa is clear and has soft floral tones with fresh flowers on the nose
