Grappa Aurora Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from the best Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, using fresh, recently fermented pomace. The spirit is distilled using the "Charantais" method in discontinuous copper stills, with heads and tails removed to isolate the body, which is then redistilled for a smoother, more flavorful drink. Historically, Grappas were stronger and more rustic, consumed by soldiers for warmth. This product is typically unaged, but this "Vecchia" version has undergone aging, though details on duration and cask type are unavailable. It reflects the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal, presenting as hot, alcoholic, robust, and consistent. It serves well as a post-meal digestif or to accompany a cigar, its high alcohol content aiding digestion. A common Italian practice involves adding Grappa to coffee for sweetness and aroma. This Grappa Aurora Cabernet Sauvignon offers a memorable experience. Visual: Perfectly clear, crystalline, and shiny. Nose: Fresh, varietal, with fine, intense aromas, uninfluenced by oak. Palate: Potent, alcoholic, and consistent, with a long finish. Country: Brazil. Origin: Serra Gaúcha - RS. Winery: Aurora. Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon. Alcohol: 38.5%. Volume: 500ml. Serving Temp: 8-10°C. Pairing: Typically served neat after meals, with coffee, or a cigar. Source: Dwines website.
