Barrel-Aged Grappa – elegance and depth of a matured distillate

Barrel-aged grappa (Grappa Barricata) is an exclusive variation of traditional Italian grappa, aged in oak barrels. This process gives it a smoother structure, deeper flavor, and a complex aroma with notes of vanilla, caramel, dried fruit, and a hint of smoke.

Why choose barrel-aged grappa?
