Grappa di Conteisa, 45% Vol. Nebbiolo & Barbera 0.5L

Grappa from Piedmont: The Grappa di Conteisa from Angelo Gaja is made from the pomace of Nebbiolo and Barbera and comes in the bottle at 45% vol. A powerful pomace brandy with a clear structure.

Gaja is one of the defining names of Piedmont and is primarily known for Barolo and Barbaresco. The name Conteisa refers to the site of the same name in the Barolo area. The fact that Nebbiolo and Barbera come together gives the brandy its profile: Nebbiolo stands for depth and spice, Barbera for fruit. The source data does not provide any information on the aging process, so we are deliberately leaving it open here.

In the glass, you can expect dark berry fruit and floral notes, as are typical for pomace of these grape varieties. On the palate, the brandy appears dense; the 45% vol carries the aromas into the finish.

Recommendation: Serve it neat at about 14 to 16 °C in a tulip glass, classically after a meal or with dark chocolate with a high cocoa content.
