Bottega Alexander Exquisite Premium Grappa Riserva 70cl, 38%

Description

Bottega Alexander Exquisite Premium Grappa Riserva 70cl, 38% is an Italian reserve grappa produced in Veneto and bottled at 38% ABV in a 70cl format. It is made from selected pomace from grapes grown in the Verona area and used in the production of full-bodied, structured, complex red wines.

What gives this grappa extra appeal is the care taken in production. The official technical sheet states that it is distilled in three phases at different temperatures in traditional copper alembics, with under-vacuum distillation and bain-marie heating used to preserve aromatic fullness and the fragrance of the original grape.

It is then aged for 18 months in oak casks made with traditional methods, with the wood dried outdoors for at least 24 months before assembly and toasting. This maturation gives the spirit its warm amber colour and adds more depth, softness, and wood-derived complexity to the final profile.

Why Choose Bottega Alexander Exquisite Premium Grappa Riserva 70cl, 38%

Choose this bottle if you want an aged Italian grappa with a richer and more polished style than a younger, clear grappa. The combination of selected Verona pomace, careful vacuum distillation, and 18 months in oak casks gives it a more elegant, structured, and rounded character.

It is also a strong choice for buyers who want a traditional after-dinner spirit that still feels refined and versatile. The official serving notes describe it as ideal at the end of a meal as a meditation drink, while also recommending it for cocktails and long drinks.
