The secret of its character lies in the processing of the pomace, which undergoes natural smoking before or during the processing phase, using selected woods. The number \"1983\" evokes a vintage aesthetic and a search for depth found in every sip. It is a distillate designed for those who love bold, earthy, and complex flavors, capable of retaining the typical fragrance of mountain grappa while donning a dark, mysterious, and enveloping cloak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSensory Profile\u003c\/b\u003e In the glass, it appears clear, with reflections that can range from crystalline to light amber depending on its brief time in wood. On the nose, the impact is surprising: a decisive note of wood smoke and peat blends with hints of pine resin, licorice, and an underlying tone of mature pomace. On the palate, the entry is powerful and structured; the alcoholic warmth is well supported by a rich taste reminiscent of tobacco, leather, and black pepper, while maintaining a pleasant softness on the finish. The persistence is extraordinary, leaving a very elegant smoky and balsamic memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduction and Method\u003c\/b\u003e Distilled in small discontinuous copper pot stills over direct fire, this grappa is produced with meticulous attention to the quality of local pomace.
