Tasting Notes
"Nardini's 100 proof grappa is hot on the nose with a slightly medicinal aroma, but on the palate it offers rich flavors of black cherry, almond, and leather, finishing with a touch of vanilla. It's a bracing spirit, but its subtleties unfold over time and reward coming back for more."
