The Dellavalle Grappa Affinata in botti di Ciliegio comes from the long-established Distilleria Roberto Dellavalle in Vigliano d’Asti, Piedmont, and impresses with its elegant, fruit-forward cask ageing. For this bottling, selected pomace is distilled using traditional methods in small copper stills to preserve the delicate aromas of the Piedmontese grape varieties clearly and unadulterated. The grappa is then aged in cherrywood casks (botti di ciliegio), which impart its characteristic, slightly sweet woody notes as well as warm, red-fruity aromas. Bottled at 42 per cent ABV, this grappa displays a harmonious balance of fresh fruit, gentle spice and subtle oaky depth. The ageing in cherry wood makes it a standout within the Dellavalle portfolio and particularly highlights the elegant structure of this Piedmontese grappa.


The influence of the cherry wood creates a soft, finely balanced aroma characterised by both fruity and spicy notes. The combination of the freshness of the pomace and subtle oak notes creates a rounded, multi-layered flavour profile. As such, the Grappa Affinata in botti di Ciliegio presents itself as a premium spirit that combines the regional distilling tradition with an unusual yet harmonious oak ageing process.
