Romano Levi Grappa di Barolo
The Romano Levi Distillery, located in Neive, in the heart of the Langhe territory is a museum in perfect working order. It produces small quantities of a unique grappa thanks to the last open-fire alembic still existing in Italy. The traditional distillation process and the lengthy ageing produce an "historic" grappa with a peerless, intense taste. The Romano Levi Grappa di Barolo is made from selected marc of Nebbiolo grapes used to produce Barolo DOCG. Aged for a minimum of four years in casks made of acacia wood it displays intense aromas of tobacco at first and then chocolate later. To taste it is dry, well balanced with long lasting notes of liquorice and final intense taste of wood and spices.
