site-driven Italian red with genuine varietal character and everyday versatility

There is no barrel influence or tannic dryness — the finish simply fades into a pleasant tropical echo

it fills a gap that few other cognacs at this tier attempt

distilled through column stills and aged in new charred American oak barrels

there is a gentle herbal undercurrent balanced by smooth grain sweetness
