{"product_id":"capovilla-grappa-di-bassano-2018","title":"2018 Capovilla Grappa di Bassano","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrappa di Bassano is Capovilla’s most explicitly local grappa, made from pomace originating from grapes grown and vinified within the municipality of Bassano del Grappa. Rather than focusing on a single variety, it brings together the different voices of the area in one clear and precise spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 is composed of 35% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot and 30% Pinot Blanc. Cabernet Franc contributes herbs, spice and a firmer savoury line; Merlot brings rounder fruit and softness; Pinot Blanc lifts the blend with white flowers, fresh grape and a more delicate aromatic edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVittorio Capovilla opened his distillery in 1986 after more than a decade studying and refining the Central European tradition of small-batch distillation. His approach begins with uncompromising raw material and aims to preserve its identity rather than manufacture flavour through wood, sugar or excessive rectification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pomace undergoes two slow distillations in small copper stills heated through a bain-marie system. The grappa then rests in stainless steel for as long as necessary before being reduced to 41% with spring water from the Monte Grappa massif. There is no oak influence, allowing the grape varieties and place to remain transparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it is crystal clear. The nose opens with fresh grape skin, pear, white flowers and red plum, followed by dried herbs, black pepper, almond and a cool mineral note. The palate is dry and finely structured, combining gentle fruit with herbal freshness, clean warmth and a persistent savoury finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrappa di Bassano 2018 is not defined by the power of one famous grape. It is the voice of the birthplace of this spirit. Its importance lies in origin: a genuine local blend, distilled with the precision that made Capovilla one of the defining names of modern Italian spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bricchi and Barrett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48009809985687,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/2899\/5223\/files\/bassano.png?v=1783820873","url":"https:\/\/bricchiandbarrett.com.au\/products\/capovilla-grappa-di-bassano-2018","provider":"Bricchi and Barrett","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
