Grappa Doree of Moscato - Giulio Cocchi
The pomace of the best Moscato d'Asti grapes is collected in bags and, after completing fermentation, they are distilled in discontinuous copper stills. It is a reserve grappa matured for at least three years in Piedmontese oak barrels. Giulio Cocchi has always produced spirits and Grappa Dorée is part of the company's history. The unmistakable style of the label declares the period of its birth and suggests the strength of character and harmony of this elegant grappa. Today defined as "single grape variety", its purity is a super characteristic, the absolute essence of the Moscato aroma which offers very pleasant and broad sensations.
Type: Grappa
Origin: Piedmont, Italy
Alcohol content: 40%
Format: 70cl
Tasting Notes: Bright golden color as the name suggests; very intense, dense and at the same time delicate and fragrant aroma, the original aromatic aspect is well expressed. Flavor soft, fine, warm and consistent with the aroma; alcohol does not disturb thanks to the general harmony and balance. It is a rare pure Moscato grappa, not being mixed with other grappas it is very intense and almost dense. Excellent at the end of a meal and perfect for serving in art deco glasses but it is also ideal as a drop or spray perfume. To taste it alone, a tulip-shaped glass is recommended, so as to allow the most intense concentration of aromas to be smelled and deciphered.
The Cellar: Giulio Cocchi was a young and creative pastry chef from Florence who moved to Asti at the end of the nineteenth century. He created original recipes for Barolo Chinato, Aperitivo Americano and several types of Vermouth, achieving success and fame in a short time. Giulio Cocchi's idea, exceptional for the time, was to open authorized retailers where these products could be tasted. Cocchi was a very well-known brand during the Belle Epoque and on the eclectic scene of the Futurist period. The Cocchi name and products soon became famous throughout the world as demonstrated by export documents: from New York to London, from Sydney to Africa and Venezuela. Cocchi paid a lot of attention to quality single-variety brut sparkling wines, produced with the Italian method since the 1980s such as CocchiBrut and, more recently, the commitment to the creation and valorisation of the DOCG Altalanga, of which Cocchi is still one of the most busy. From the founder Giulio Cocchi, the winery has also inherited an inexhaustible liveliness and qualitative research that has led it to be known and appreciated on five continents. All Cocchi products are wine-based and the recipes are those of the past, codified based on the intuitions of Giulio Cocchi himself. What defines the Cocchi style is therefore elegance and authenticity, the quality of the wine and the ingredients, the centenary technical experience, a passion and creativity that have never waned over the years. Since 2012 Giulio Cocchi has been registered in the National Register of Historic Companies of Italy for its first 130 years of uninterrupted activity.
