Grappa di Albana Passita - Il Cerro

Grappa di Albana Passita – Il Cerro

Only 75 bottles produced: made from Albana grapes left to dry directly in the vineyard, where noble rot further concentrates sugars and aromas.

Il Cerro was born in Cerreto, a hillside hamlet of Saludecio, in the heart of the Rimini hinterland. The distillery is the project of Enrico Venturini, who at 14 started distilling with his grandfather's small still, a local grape grower: today he is the first producer in Emilia-Romagna to work exclusively with Romagna grape varieties, putting the same artisanal care into every stage, from pomace selection to processing times.

The result is an aromatic grappa, soft on the palate, with intense notes of dried figs and raisins that directly recall the drying of the starting grapes. The finish is warm and enveloping, with a persistent aftertaste that lingers long.

A niche production within a niche, meant to be savoured slowly, as a significant after-dinner digestif.
