Barbera's Bold Fruit, Intensified
Barbera is one of Piedmont's great red grapes — prized for bright fruit and freshness — and in grappa form those qualities come through distilled and concentrated. Moletto distills the Barbera pomace in copper stills and bottles it unaged, crystal clear, so nothing stands between the spirit and the grape. The Beverage Testing Institute awarded it 92 points, noting dried pear, prune and pepper aromas, a round silky entry, dried fruit and sweet cream with peppery spice, and a crisp warming finish with a lingering pear and creme Anglaise fade. Compare it with the grappa range or the broader brandy selection, and see everything from Moletto.
Tasting Notes
Crystal clear. Dried pear, prune and pepper on the nose; a round, silky entry leading to dried fruit, sweet cream and peppery spice; crisp, warming finish with lingering pear.
How to Enjoy
Room temperature in a tulip glass, traditionally after a meal. Its intensity also makes it a characterful base for cocktails calling for grappa.
