AURORA GRAPPA VECCHIA CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Grappa/Marc — Bento Gonçalves, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Reviewed
April 6, 2024
Grappa Aurora Cabernet Sauvignon is made using fresh grape pomace, recently fermented, with the best grapes of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety.
The distillation process used is "Charantais" in discontinuous copper stills. The method of separating the head and tail is applied, leaving only the body of the distillate, which is redistilled, making the drink more harmonious and tasty.
In the past, Grappas (or graspa) were stronger and more rustic in flavor, and were consumed by soldiers to keep warm on harsh winter days.
In general, the product obtained is fresh and has not been aged in wood. But this grappa, being "Vecchia", has been aged. However, no information was found about the aging time or the container used. It has the characteristics of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety and is hot, alcoholic, strong and consistent.
It can be enjoyed as a substitute for liqueur at the end of a meal, as its high alcohol content also helps with the digestive process, or to accompany a good cigar.
A typically Italian habit is to mix Grappa and coffee, as the alcoholic beverage adds a bit of sweetness and perfume to the hot coffee. Tasty and memorable, your days will never be the same after enjoying Grappa Aurora Cabernet Sauvignon.
SENSORY ANALYSIS Visual: Its appearance is very clear, crystalline and shiny.
