Brandy Italiano 2021

Grape variety: 100% brandy from Pinot blanc, Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

Description: A brandy that comes from a special assemblage of different grapes and matures for 4 years in selected Amistar Rosso barriques. Its versatility and elegance will convince even the most demanding cognac connoisseur.

Site: Kaltern Kühebene for Pinot blanc, Kaltern Prutznei for Chardonnay, Kaltern Puiten for Sauvignon blanc.

Soil: Loamy chalky soils to partly sandy, gravelly.

Harvest: Beginning to end of September

Yield: About 70 hl/ha

Vinification: White wine pressing. After pressing, the must is fermented and then a batch is selected from the above-mentioned varieties, which we then distil over 2 times in our water-bath distillery in the style of Cognac. The brandy is finally assembled and then aged for at least 5 years in small Amistar Rosso barrels for development.

Shelf life: 10 years and more

Serving temperature: 18 °C

Food pairing: An aged brandy in the style of Cognac is best enjoyed with a fine dark chocolate or especially recommended is the Tartufo dolce from Piedmont. A classic and therefore my preference is to recommend our Amistar Brandy with a nice Davidoff cigar.
