Bepi Tosolini – Grappa Smoked is a bold, modern grappa with a clear smoky profile—ideal if you enjoy depth, warmth, and a more “whisky-like” experience, while still keeping grappa’s classic dryness and grape-driven edge. The smoky character adds an extra layer of complexity, making it equally compelling as a digestif or as a creative cocktail ingredient.
Style & character
Where classic grappa often focuses on clean fruit, grape-skin aromatics and distillation precision, the Smoked expression moves into a darker, more intense territory: smoke, toasted notes and spice. It still feels distinctly Italian—dry, elegant and precise—yet with an aromatic weight that will appeal to whisky or dark-rum drinkers.
Nose
Warm and clearly smoky, yet refined:
gentle campfire smoke and toasted nuances
dried fruit and a discreet grape note in the background
spice (black pepper, a hint of clove)
a subtle nutty touch for roundness
Palate
Dry and powerful, balancing smoke with grape purity:
a pronounced smoky, toasted opening
then a fruitier core with warm, grape-driven tones
lightly spiced depth through the mid-palate
the finish is long, warm and dry, with smoke and toast lingering
Serving
Serve at room temperature or lightly chilled depending on whether you want to highlight smoke or freshness. Use a tulip-shaped glass and give it a minute to breathe—smoky notes often open beautifully with a little air. Excellent as an after-dinner digestif, especially after richer food or when you want a more assertive finish.
Cocktail ideas
a small barspoon in an Old Fashioned adds smoky depth
try it in an Espresso Martini for a smoky twist
or in a Smoked Sour style with citrus and a touch of sweetness
