Nardini Grappa Bianca Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 Jul,30 in Tasting , Nardini

“Perhaps that is how grappa is suppose to taste, but it is really bad. I don't like this stuff at all.”

Far and away Italy's best-selling premium grappa, Nardini Bianca remains unchallenged as the connoisseur's benchmark. Authentically high in strength, 'Bianca' fills the palate with an exciting sparkle, then - largely thanks to its fine balance and extraordinary distillation quality - surprises the drinker with its remarkably gentle follow-through. It's not hard to appreciate why this grappa continues to be valued for its digestive capabilities as well as its excellent flavour. Scored a coveted 'Silver' in the 2006 International Wine & Spirit Competition.

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (67): strong. herbs, provenzal herbs, olive.

Palate (65): powerful. herbs, olives, a little grapes, herbs, citrus.

Finish (70): longer than average. citrus, floral, herbs.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Nardini Grappa Bianca with 67 points over 100.
