Ronco di Sassi Grappa Riserva is a grappa 12 aged for up to 18 months in small wooden casks ,resulting in a distillate that is considerably rounder and more complex than a typical white grappa. The producer describes it as elegant and smooth, with a characteristic amber colour that comes from the wood ageing.

In the glass, the drink is amber-gold, not transparent like a young grappa. In the aroma and taste you can expect vanilla and sweet spices, nuances of toasted wood, dried fruit, nuts, a light caramel note and a warm, gentle spiciness. The texture is round and velvety, the finish long and warming. The alcohol content is typically high, but the wood ageing helps to soften it.
