The Luigi Francoli 3 Anni RISERVA Grappa del Piemonte, at 41.5% vol. in a 0.7-litre bottle, epitomises the traditional art of Piedmontese grappa-making, executed to a high standard of craftsmanship. This bottling is produced by the renowned Francoli distillery, which has been renowned for generations for its precision, experience and consistent commitment to quality. The distillation process requires more than seven kilograms of red pomace, predominantly from the Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo grape varieties, which are deeply rooted in Piedmont and lend the grappa its complex structure.


The fresh pomace is processed particularly gently in a continuous steam distillation unit. In this process, steam and pomace are passed in counter-current flow, allowing the alcohol and aromatic components to be extracted with precision. After separating the heads, the heart and the tails, only the heart of the distillate is used for this high-quality grappa. The subsequent three-year ageing in medium-sized oak casks lends the grappa additional depth, elegance and structure. The Grappa Riserva 3 Anni is bottled at 41.5 per cent, giving it power, balance and a harmonious overall character. The combination of grape varieties provides a broad spectrum of aromas, skilfully blending fruit, spice and floral nuances.
