Mazzetti Grappa di Moscato Invecchiata (1.5 litres)

Grappa di Moscato Invecchiata (1.5 litres) / Mazzetti d'Altavilla / Piedmont

Spirits from Italy

Grappa di Moscato Barricata is a distinguished Italian spirit that captures the full aromatic richness, ripeness and sweetness of the Moscato grape. This time-honoured variety has been cherished since antiquity for its intense fragrance and beguiling bouquet. Even then, it was likened to muscum—the Latin word for musk—so sensual and profound was its character. To concentrate the essence of the grape, the fruit is carefully dried, resulting in a few precious drops of pure delicacy whose flavour rivals that of honey.

Crafted from the fermented pomace of the Moscato grape, this Grappa is produced through a sustainable process that marries the art of distillation with a deep respect for nature. Following distillation, the spirit matures for one to four years in barrique casks made of Italian acacia wood. This refinement imparts a remarkable softness and depth, enhancing each note with greater harmony and charm.

Behind this exceptional spirit stands the historic distillery Mazzetti d’Altavilla, established in 1846 in the heart of Monferrato Astigiano. Founded by Filippo Mazzetti, the family-run enterprise is now among the oldest and most esteemed distilleries in Italy. Now in its seventh generation, Mazzetti d’Altavilla blends artisanal tradition with modern innovation. The distillery is located in Altavilla Monferrato, near the famed truffle town of Alba, and is deeply rooted in the culture and heritage of Piedmont.

Distillation takes place in discontinuous copper stills, heated indirectly by steam—a method that ensures the highest standards of purity and quality. Mazzetti d’Altavilla places great emphasis on the selection of raw materials, the provenance of the grapes, and the meticulous ageing of its distillates. The result is a range of Grappas of unparalleled elegance and depth, appreciated across the globe.

Grappa di Moscato Barricata delights with a rounded, intense bouquet that evokes the very scent of the vineyard. Discerning noses will detect floral notes of rose and violet, fruity hints of peach, and herbal nuances of sage and grass. On the palate, it reveals a balanced, smooth yet aromatic profile—a harmonious interplay of floral, fruity and herbal flavours that linger beautifully. Served at a temperature between 15 and 18
°C in a fine Grappa glass, it unfolds its full aromatic potential. Particularly exquisite is the pairing with fresh sage leaves and acacia honey, which melt on the tongue and complement the Grappa’s flavours to perfection.

This special edition is presented in an impressive 1.5-litre Magnum bottle—a generous format that not only makes a striking visual statement but is also ideal for celebratory occasions and shared enjoyment among friends. Grappa di Moscato Barricata is far more than a spirit—it is a sensual expression of the Piedmontese summer, captured in every golden drop. A refined indulgence for connoisseurs and lovers of fine spirits, crafted by a distillery that has stood for quality, passion and Italian craftsmanship for over 175 years.
