Discover the excellence contained in an elegant mahogany wood box with Moscato Giallo Trentino grappa. This fine distillate is obtained from the best pomace of this vine processed according to the Villa de Varda distillation method.

Accompanied by a technical sheet hand-signed by the master distiller Luigi Dolzan, this grappa is an emblem of high quality, thanks to its aging in barriques, which gives a unique and rare character to this distillate produced in only 2,820 specimens.

This grappa, with a suggestive amber color, is part of the Alta Selezione line of Villa de Varda, obtained from the best pomace. She was awarded 1st prize at the ANAG International Competition , confirming her excellence and recognition by industry experts.

Tasting notes

Amber in color with golden reflections. On the nose it is complex and intriguing with toasted and fruity hints of muscat grapes, pineapple, citrus fruits, rennet apple, with floral nuances of elderflower, acacia, lily of the valley and wisteria. The taste is particularly soft and refined, with delicate notes of nuts and spices, balsamic, fruity and floral.

Try it in combination with chocolate or pastries made with nuts and candied fruit.
For the more daring, it can be combined with spicy dishes, gravies and braised meats, or with fatty cured meats, mature cheeses with honey and mustards.

Production method

After having scrupulously selected only the best grapes, a slow distillation follows in discontinuous cycle copper stills, typical of Trentino. This phase, followed by the master distiller who cuts the head and tail, is essential to preserve the precious characteristics and aromas of the vine. After distillation, the grappa rests in stainless steel for six months, before being reduced in alcohol content with spring water from Trentino and then aged for 5 years in oak barriques, reaching a more complex and enveloping character.
