Amandola Nebbiolo da Barolo is produced using grape-pomace from the Barolo district. The pomace is left to drain without being previously pressed. While still full of juices and aromas, the pomace is distilled in the “Guillaume” discontinuous copper steam-still in Angera and it gives the grappa a texture enhanced by its stay in new barriques of Allier and Limousin oak for at least 18 months.
In 1847, Bernardo Rossi founded his own distillery in Angera, on the Lombard shore of Lago Maggiore, following three basic tenets: to distil marcs that were fresh, full of moisture and from one single vine; to use a discontinuous steam-still; to age in small barrels made from differently toasted woods. Ageing in wooden casks endows an elegance and a wholeness that ranks the grappa with the great spirits of the world. In 1913, at the height of the Art Nouveau period, King Vittorio Emanuele III awarded the Rossi d’Angera Distillery the Royal House of Savoy Letter Patent, which put all the grappas in a class of their own.
