Brandy Aqvaforte Vintage 1971 - Giulio Cocchi
 
 
 Aquaforte is an extremely rare brandy, aged extensively in the ancient cellars. A small batch is released each year, until the original and unique reserve of 5,200 bottles is exhausted. It is a rare collector's item that increases in value year after year, as does the immodest satisfaction of those who produced it and rediscover it each time, as a fine meditation spirit. To enjoy it alone, a tulip glass is recommended, allowing the aromas to be more intensely concentrated, sniffed and deciphered. It also offers ample surface area to oxygenate and express itself to its fullest potential. From the historic 1971 vintage.

 Tasting Notes: Oak barrels that have held it since June 1971, for over 40 years, have given it a smoothness that reveals a floral aromatic complexity: hints of hazelnut, leather, chestnut honey, and tobacco. Without being aggressive, its exceptional length on the palate reveals all the richness of a great wine brandy.
 
 
 The Cellar: Giulio Cocchi was a young and creative pastry chef from Florence who moved to Asti in the late 19th century. He created original recipes for Barolo Chinato, Aperitivo Americano, and various vermouths, quickly achieving success and fame. Giulio Cocchi's idea, exceptional for the time, was to open authorized retailers where these products could be tasted. Cocchi was a well-known brand during the Belle Époque and on the eclectic scene of the Futurist period. The Cocchi name and products quickly became renowned worldwide, as evidenced by export records: from New York to London, from Sydney to Africa and Venezuela. Cocchi placed great emphasis on quality single-varietal brut sparkling wines, produced using the Italian method since the 1980s, such as CocchiBrut, and, more recently, on the creation and promotion of the Altalanga DOCG, of which Cocchi remains one of the most committed champions. From its founder, Giulio Cocchi, the winery has also inherited an inexhaustible energy and a commitment to quality that has earned it recognition and recognition across five continents. All Cocchi products are wine-based, and the recipes are timeless, codified based on the insights of Giulio Cocchi himself. What defines the Cocchi style is elegance and authenticity, the quality of the wine and ingredients, centuries of technical expertise, and a passion and creativity that have never waned over the years. Since 2012, Giulio Cocchi has been listed in the National Register of Historic Companies of Italy for its first 130 years of uninterrupted business.
