Aqua Vitae 18 Anni di Montevertine is a legendary spirit, a special reserve aged for 18 years in used barriques, dedicated to Sergio Manetti and Alberto Manfredi, key figures in the history of the winery. Coming from the Sangiovese pomace of Pergole Torte, this intense amber liquid releases a complex and soft bouquet of candied fruit, tobacco, bitter cocoa and noble spices, with a delicacy that defies the definition of "grappa" and recalls spirits such as Armagnac. Patiently refined by the Nannoni Distillery under the guidance of Priscilla Occhipinti, it offers a rich and silky palate, with controlled power and an interminable finish. Limited edition of 911 numbered bottles, it is a work of art for connoisseurs and collectors.
Production Method Artisanal distillation with discontinuous steam boilers of the Sangiovese pomace of Pergole Torte, performed by Distilleria Nannoni. In 2005, a special selection was left to rest in used oak barrels (supplied by Montevertine), aging for 18 years until bottling in 2023. No invasive filtration, with a short rest in the bottle to harmonize the profile. Limited edition of 911 bottles, with unique labels inspired by Alberto Manfredi's etchings.
Pairings Dark chocolate, caramel desserts, fine cigars, aged cheeses.
