For over two centuries Nardini sold its unaged ‘classic’ grappa bianco at 50%. Then in 2013 the company launched a more approachable, and thanks to duty savings, a cheaper grappa at 40%. When sampled the 50% was better so somebody thought, why not also bottle it available at 60%. Surely even better?

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 11/01/2014

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Chocolate and cacao with forest ferns after rain freshness and white pepper spirity spice.

Taste:

Powerful and strangely sweet with woody grape notes, white pepper spirity spice, chocolate drinking powder and faint cherry. Its surprisingly enjoyable neat at its full brawny 60% – just take little sips. Indeed, it’s best enjoyed at 60%.

Aftertaste:

White pepper spice, chocolate truffles and grassy grape notes.
