Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Segnana Grappa Riserva Alto Rilievo Invecchiata in Botti da Whisky is an Italian spirit matured in authentic Scottish casks. It displays a warm medium amber colour, the result of an extended period resting in wood. The profile is intense and structured, featuring signature smoky and peaty notes alongside pronounced dried-fruit aromas. On the palate, it is deeply smooth, culminating in an enveloping finish that reflects the wood’s influence and its 40% alcohol strength.
Where does it come from?
Crafted by Segnana in Trentino-Alto Adige, this spirit originates from a northern Italian region with a long distilling heritage. Its unique identity is shaped by maturation in casks sourced directly from the Scottish island of Islay. This fusion bridges the alpine character of local distillation with maritime echoes, seamlessly integrating the original grape characteristics with intense dried-fruit flavours and peaty tones derived from the imported wood.
How is it produced?
The production process involves careful distillation followed by a prolonged period of wood maturation. To achieve its distinct character, the spirit undergoes extended ageing exclusively in barrels that previously held Scottish Whisky. This Whisky cask ageing facilitates the slow release of specific aromas that enhance the original structure. Through interaction with the seasoned wood, it develops a velvety softness and a refined, balanced profile.

Segnana grappa is in fact partly made from the grape marc left over from the soft pressing of the grapes used to produce Ferrari. The short time interval from grape pressing to insertion in the stills makes sure that the grape marc doesn’t lose any of the original aromas, flavour and fragrances.
The traditional Bain-Marie batch distillation procedure is enriched by the application of innovative technical expedients gleaned from years of research carried out by Segnana’s master distillers in collaboration with the Edmund Mach foundation in San Michele all’Adige.
The grape marc conservation procedure in embedded tanks with hydraulic gaskets is unique and extraordinarily efficient while the patented secondary phlegm distillation system used in particular vintages allows the purest part of the grape marc to be sublimated. Once distilled the grappa is allowed to rest and age for several months in steel tanks where it is embellisgrappahed with elegance, smoothness and harmony. Read more
