18 Year Old Brandy (Aged in Marsala Barrel), Villa Zarri

18 Year Old Brandy (Aged in Marsala Barrel), Villa ZarriFrom one of Italys best brandy producers. The nose is delicate with toasted oak wood, enriched with accents of liquorice and dried fruit, a prelude to intense identifying aromas of iris, cocoa powder, dried sage, nutmeg, a whiff of pepper and balsamic puffs. On the palate it envelopes the mouth in a warm embrace, slightly spicy and very cohesive, softly compelling, to exalt the dense aromatic properties, enhanced by a long wake of chocolate and mint.

This Brandy Millesimato 2002 was distilled using the discontinuous cycle method with a Charentais alembic, from a 2002 vintage Romagna Trebbiano wine from the Romagna hills. The Brandy was then aged for 13 years in a 350-litre barrel of French oak from the forests of Limousin. In the fourteenth year, it was aged in a 300-litre oak wood barrel that previously contained a Marsala Florio Vergine 1998.
