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. Smoking is at the heart of the process: a handcrafted method that imparts characteristic notes to the distillate without masking the elegance of the original grape variety. The pure water from the Aosta Valley springs completes the work, ensuring the cleanliness and minerality typical of all La Valdotaine products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eServing Suggestions\u003c\/b\u003e Given its complexity, Smokey 1983 is a perfect meditation grappa. It should be served in a tulip glass at room temperature (around 18°C) to allow the smoky notes to gradually open up. It is an ideal pairing for a quality cigar, high-percentage dark chocolate, or to accompany aged and smoked cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e La Valdotaine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"26\"\u003eProduct:\u003c\/b\u003e Smoked Grappa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"54\"\u003eName:\u003c\/b\u003e Smokey 1983\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"72\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Aosta Valley (Saint-Marcel)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"110\"\u003eRaw Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Selected smoked Aosta Valley pomace\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"167\"\u003eAlcohol Content:\u003c\/b\u003e 40% Vol. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"194\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e 50 cl \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VINART","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57044616216951,"sku":"VLD06","price":50.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/0734\/7063\/files\/LaValdotaine1983.png?v=1777134325","url":"https:\/\/vinart.it\/en\/products\/la-valdotaine-grappa-smokey-1983","provider":"VINART ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
