DOMENIS1898’s Storica Riserva Barrique Millesimata

“Storica Riserva Barrique Millesimata” is one of the qualitative excellences by DOMENIS1898, an ancient distillery in the heart of Cividale del Friuli. This very Italian grappa was one of the most recognized ones in 2020, receiving notable accolades such as “excellent” at ESA, Excellence Spirits Award, “90” points by Falstaff, and a Silver Medal at the Spirits Selection by Concours Mondial de Bruxelles. Today, the fourth generation of the family, represented by Cristina Domenis, shows a further moment of growth for the Company: it has been able to create a product that is both new and fascinating, thanks also to mixology, responding more and more to the criteria of typicality that  set it apart to the territory. Fifty volumes of alcohol and a remarkable softness invite you to explore its qualities. Clear grappa, with an amber gold colour, it is a vintage aquavit obtained from the distillation of pomace, processed in a discontinuous direct steam copper plant with 8 stills.
Intensity, elegance, refinement characterize this gentle distillate, aged in carefully selected small French barrique, after a careful selection of the most suitable batch. Fragrant, enveloping, and complex in its aromas of star anise, cocoa, citrus, light puffs of liquorice, toasted walnuts, and hazelnuts, dried apricots and raisins, which give it a delicate and aromatic intensity. A delightful sip obtained thanks to over 120 years of knowledge of the distillation art.
