BRANDY GRAPPA

NARDINI SPIRITS TALY, VENETO Nardini Spirits of Northern Italy has amassed two centuries of distilling expertise and through rigorous quality control - from local vine to bottle, Nardini grappa are not only excellent, but completely consistent, year after year. Many producers rely on spectacularly ornate glass bottles to sell product – Nardini is about what’s inside and prefers classic simple elegance and tradition. Nardini Infused with Rue 86PF / 1.0L Each bottle of Ruta (Rue) features a large sprig of rue, a bitter herb that gives this unusual grappa a delightfully astringent flavor. Nardini Mandorla 100PF / 1.0L While almond aroma is well to the fore, Nardini employs a cherry distillate to balance the nut’s naturally bitter flavor. Mandorla has a slightly sweet aftertaste, making it a natural first-time grappa for those new to the spirit. Excellent as a sour or an Alexander. Mandorla achieved the highest rating (Superb) in the prestigious F. Paul Pacult’s Spirit Review in 2005. “Strongly Recommend” Ultimate Spirits Challenge ‘17 Grappa Bianca (White Label) 80PF / 375ML / 700ML Far and away Italy’s best-selling premium grappa, Nardini Bianca remains unchallenged as the connoisseur’s benchmark. ‘Bianca’ fills the palate with an exciting sparkle, then—largely thanks to its fine balance and extraordinary distillation quality—surprises the drinker with its remarkably gentle follow-through.
