Cellar
The Levi distillery is the daughter of a great tradition and thanks to Lidia and Romano Levi, it has met art, dressing up with labels made by great names, becoming collectors' items. Romano Levi, nicknamed "il Grappaiolo Angelico" by Luigi Veronelli, inherited the distillery in the Langhe region of Neive from his father Serafino when he was just 17 years old. He kept the same and only discontinuous direct-fire copper still he worked with for 63 years, which is still the only one in the world still in operation today. His sister Lidia, on the other hand, was always busy studying the marc and researching aromatic herbs. Today the distillery-house is a living museum that continues to distil according to tradition, thanks to friends who still jealously guard the last grappas still left to age in casks. They are fiery grappas, 'wild' as the Maestro liked to call them, with a unique and inimitable taste.
Description
La Grappa della Donna Selvatica Arneis di Romano Levi è un'eccellenza piemontese ottenuta da vinacce di Arneis selezionate. Distillata con metodo tradizionale, offre aromi delicati e un gusto morbido e avvolgente. Perfetta per chi ama i distillati raffinati e predilige grappe giovani e fresche.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Colore cristallino brillante e al naso esprime un bouquet delicato e armonioso. Gli aromi primari ricordano le note fruttate fresche, con un leggero accenno floreale che si interseca a sfumature di mandorla fresca, tipiche delle vinacce appena distillate.
Al palato, l'attacco è morbido, aperto, con una dolcezza iniziale che evolve verso una piacevole e raffinata secchezza. La persistenza aromatica è notevole, lasciando un retrogusto pulito con accenni di frutta fresca e mandorla, che invita a un altro sorso
Storage time:
up to 30 years
Vinification
vinacce freschissime di Arneis, distillate lentamente in alambicco discontinuo a bagnomaria
