Spirits of the Volcano: Tasting of Malvasia Puntinata Distillates at Cantine Eredi dei Papi
Here is what's in store for you
Welcome to Cantine Eredi dei Papi for a sensory experience exploring the most intense and enveloping side of the Castelli Romani.
Your journey begins with a guided tour, where you will discover how Malvasia Puntinata grapes and local botanicals draw their character from the volcanic soil. We will then lead you into the heart of the estate to show you how these raw materials are transformed, through innovative distillation techniques, into bold spirits deeply rooted in the land.
The guided tasting features three premium artisanal spirits: Scintille young grappa, Scintille barrel-aged "acquavite", and Albagin, our exclusive Italian Premium Dry Gin. The tasting is paired with a high-quality gastronomic selection, including a rich local charcuterie board served with fresh bread and estate EVO oil, and delicious warm finger foods. The highlight of your visit is our panoramic terrace, a window overlooking the stunning vineyards of the Castelli Romani, providing a refined and convivial atmosphere.
This experience is special because it offers a fresh perspective on Malvasia Puntinata, revealing its incredible evolution from grape to luxury spirit. It is an invitation to discover how the volcano expresses itself not only in wine but also in gin and grappa of rare elegance. A unique journey through the scents of the region, perfect for those seeking an authentic and original encounter with the culture of craft distillation.
