Tasting notes
A fine distillate born from the fresh pomace of our Nocera from the Mastronicola Estate. Artisanally distilled in a discontinuous bain-marie still to preserve its aromas and finesse, it rests for a long time before being bottled. It is clear and crystalline. The nose is elegant and intense, with notes of small red fruits, almond, withered violet and a delicate spicy nuance. On the palate it is soft, warm and harmonious, with great cleanliness and a long, velvety persistence that recalls the noble character of the original grape variety.
