Grappa di Albana Passita - Il Cerro

Albana Passita Grappa – Il Cerro

Only 75 bottles produced: it comes from Albana grapes left to dry directly on the vine, where noble rot further concentrates their sugars and aromas.

Il Cerro is based in Cerreto, a hillside hamlet of Saludecio in the heart of the Rimini hinterland. The distillery is the project of Enrico Venturini, who began distilling at the age of 14 with the small still of his grandfather, a local winegrower: today he is the first producer in Emilia-Romagna to work exclusively with Romagna grape varieties, putting the same artisan care into every stage, from selecting the pomace to the 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 original grapes. The finish is warm and enveloping, with a long, persistent aftertaste.

A niche within a niche, made to be sipped slowly as a digestif after an important meal.
