Grappa

SoloPerGian is not just a grappa, but the successful union of Tre Soli Tre, Roccanivo and Bric del Gaian, aged for 10 years in 1,200- and Liters barrels. And the name SoloPerGian is also the name of a non-profit foundation for craftsmen and those who are (still) willing to learn a craft.

Picolit is an old, autochthonous vine from Friuli with white, loose-berried grapes that suffer severely from trickling. Only some of the flowers are fertilised and only a few, very small berries ripen, in which the full expressive power of the vine is concentrated. Due to its rarity and exceptional characteristics, the vine was known throughout the imperial courts of Europe.

Twenty years have passed since the Berta family left Nizza Monferrato. Today, with the acquisition of Castelletto dell'Annunziata, they are returning to the homeland where Paolo began writing his impressive story. To celebrate the return, a special grappa is being produced. A Piedmontese grappa, made from the best marcs that this land at the foot of the mountains has to offer. A new product, but with an old history. A homage to the land and a grappa that tastes like coming home.
