Giannì - Acquavite di Visciola Barricata
The typical marks of Ammalia are conveyed and enhanced in Giannì: a barrique spirit
and unique worldwide since it is the first sour-cherry spirit aged for three years in the fine
cherry-wood barriques, which are specifically created for the purpose.
Such precious type of wood, by intensely and slowly enveloping the spirit, gives it all its
properties, not modifying the scents like other types of wood do. Our Ammalia goes amber-coloured,
the smooth and deep taste is enhanced, and the airy scent is very fruity. The alcohol content is at
42%. The production counts 465 numbered bottles.
This barrique spirit should be served in small, smooth crystal glasses to enjoy its purity. It
doesn't need specific pairings, since it can be considered a meditative spirit.
"Giannì!
""Ammalia was born in 1999. The intuition is to be attributed to a man who wanted to dedicate it to his spouse, bringing Dante into that, believing that His Paradiso was contained into that bottle and with that name. Now, after three years of ageing, held in the strength and elegance of cherry-wood, that feeling couldn't help but last forever, unique and invaluable just like their being as ONE. By opening a bottle, beside smelling the aromas and the unique scents, it is like to hear a voice shouting: Giannì!"
