TASTING NOTE: We stared at the crystal clearness of the Alexander Grappa di Amarone through it's beautifully simple, hand-blown bottle designed by Sandro Bottega himself. The grappa is absolutely colorless, giving it a luster and beauty that is topped only by its strong, grapey and spice bouquet, followed by its robust, mouth-warming attack and gently bitter, raisin-like aftertaste. We drank it chilled, then considered adding some espresso to end the evening with cafÈ coretto. But a little grappa goes a long way, and the warmth of the pure nectar was all we needed on this midsummer-night's dream of bubbles, grapes and grappa. (Kevin Cox, examiner.com, April 18, 2011)
