Description
The ALEXANDER Aqva Di Vita Red Wine Cask Finish is an exceptional Italian single malt whisky produced in a country that is better known for wine than for whisky. This bottling is produced by the traditional Distilleria Bottega, which has dedicated itself to high-quality, handcrafted whiskies with this line. The speciality lies in the finish maturation in selected red wine casks, which give the whisky additional depth, fruit and a fine tannin structure.
The basis of this single malt is a carefully distilled whisky, which is first matured in classic oak casks. The subsequent finish in red wine casks gives it elegant fruit flavours, a velvety structure and a darker colour. With an alcohol content of 40% by volume, Aqva Di Vita offers a harmonious combination of Mediterranean character, Italian wine influence and mild drinking strength – ideal for connoisseurs looking for something special.
Tasting NoteColour: Copper with reddish reflections.
Nose: Red berries, grapes, vanilla, oak and a fine winey note.
Flavour: Fruity and round with cherry, dark berries, dark chocolate, spices and soft wood.
Finish: Medium to long, soft, fruity with a hint of tannin and elegant warmth.
Best enjoyed neat or slightly chilled to fully savour the fruity complexity of the wine barrel. Aqva Di Vita also shows its versatility in a wine and whisky cocktail (e.g. with Vermouth or fruit liqueur). In culinary terms, it goes very well with mature hard cheese, grilled meat with grape sauce, antipasti with figs, but also with chocolate desserts with red fruit or panna cotta with wine sauce. An unusual single malt with a Mediterranean soul – inspired by Italian culinary culture.
