Far & away Italy's best-selling premium grappa, Nardini Bianca remains unchallenged as the connoisseur's benchmark. Authentically high in strength, ' Bianca' fills the palate with an exciting sparkle, then
- largely thanks to its fine balance & extraordinary distillation quality
- surprises the drinker with its remarkably gentle follow-through. It's not hard to appreciate why this grappa continues to be valued for its digestive capabilities as well as its excellent flavour. Scored a coveted ' Silver' in the 2006 International Wine & Spirit Competition. Ideal drinking temperature: chilled to between 8 & 10 degrees C (46-50 degrees F) or freezer-chilled. Nose: Initial hint of raclette, jasmine tea, dried lemon zest, lemon meringue, rounded & fruity with acacia honey notes. Palate: smooth, mellow, opening up with jasmine tea, cinnamon, lemon zest, acacia honey & gingerbread, nicely layered with fresh jasmine tea coming back to the fore. Finish: jasmine tea & lemon meringue, with hints of gingerbread & lemon curd. (Tasting notes by Ian Wisniewski, London, June 2003 )
