A second special edition of the Grappa Stravecchia, Le Diciotto Lune. Riserva Botte Porto comes from an additional aging period of eighteen months, in a limited number of selected barrels previously used to age Porto wine. The extra refinement highlights the sharper Grappa-wood contrast and the Porto barrels add a fruity scent. A combination of unique sensations. Grape varieties are Marzemino, Teroldego and Merlot, Muscat and Chardonnay. Ageing process, aged for 36 months. Aging method is18 months in small barrels made of different woods then 18 months in Porto barrels.

The palate effortlessly displays the famed attributes of great Liqueur Tawny; luscious, rich and full flavoured with mouthfilling viscosity and a slightly dry finish.

Brilliant ruby red colour tending to orange with age. Inviting bouquet of dried cherries, plum, and subtle floral notes, complemented by hints of leather and tobacco. Medium to full-bodied with well-integrated tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones unfold, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering notes of vanilla and cedar. We don't recommend decanting a wine of this age. Letting it stand upright for 24 hours before serving will will be sufficient to ensure that the sediment has settled naturally. This wine will pair well with mature cheeses, roasted red meats, game meats, mushroom based dishes and rich tomato based pasta sauces.
