Marquis Carlo Guerrieri Gonzaga discovered this
wonderful carafe in the attics of Villa Gresti where it had remained since the time of the great wars. Dating back to 1800, it was probably used as a water bottle for the night when the family retreated here during the summers. From the moment of its discovery, the idea was immediately to use it as the emblem of Grappa. Grappa di San Leonardo is produced in very small quantities with the pomace from the estate's vineyards, and distilled in small direct steam stills.
The Grappa Bianca is perfectly dry, refined and velvety.
Distillation | After a light pressing, the pomace is immediately processed using a steam still.
Tasting notes | Perfectly dry white grappa but at the same time velvety and full
