Romano Levi (1928-2008) , the “angelic grappa maker” as Luigi Veronelli used to call him, was just 17 years of age when he took over the running of the distillery founded by his father Serafino in1925. Using the same distillery equipment, and the same hand-crafted productions process, he went on to become the most famous “grappaiolo” in the world, not only for his grappa, but also hid hand-drawn labels. Countless publications and exhibitions in Italy and abroad have been dedicated to his main subject: the “Wild Woman”.
Produced in small quantities, this grappa is distilled using pomace from grapes selected with almost maniacal attention. After distillation, a long resting period in neutral containers allows the grappa to gradually develop its sophisticated sensory notes without altering the pure and crystalline color that characterizes it.
On the nose, this grappa immediately reveals its complexity: aromas of fresh fruit blend with more evolved scents of almond and vanilla, thanks to the extended maturation period. The approach to the palate is extremely balanced: softness and freshness combine with a surprising aromatic persistence that leaves room for reflections of dried fruit and mild spicy tones in the finish.
Romano Levi's boxed grappa is not just a distillate, but a true collector's item, carefully detailed, from the bottle to the packaging, making this product an ideal gift proposal for lovers of high-quality grappas.
Ideal to be served at room temperature or slightly chilled after a meal, as a perfect digestive, Romano Levi's White Grappa is a sublime expression of Italian artisanal and distilling tradition that will captivate even the most demanding palates.
