Name: Grappa di Donnafugata 

Type: Young grappa 

Alcohol level: 40% vol. 

Grapes: Ansonica and small percentages of other native white varieties. 

Distillation: The fresh pomace resulting from the soft pressing of the finest white grapes produced by Donnafugata is distilled in a batch still. 

Description: Transparent and crystalline to the eye, the wine offers the nose delicate sensations of wildflowers, scents of hawthorn blossoms and freshly cut grass, lightly spicy with an unusually pleasant scent of yellow stone fruit. It is soft on the palate, displaying a pronounced personality, a good alcohol level and prolonged aromatic persistence with the retro-nasal recurrence of the noble aromas ending on an extremely clean note of licorice. 

Food matches: Excellent at the conclusion of a meal based on grilled fish and crustaceans. 

Serve: At 10° C. (50° F.) in small tulip-shaped goblets, if possible of the type that flares slightly at the rim. 

Curiosity: Grappa di Donnafugata is distilled in Friuli by the Tosolini family with which we have collaborated for three generations.
