DESCRIPTION

Description: Marroncino, a flavoured Grappa, is a unique product resulting from the meticulous maceration of Grappa with alcohol and Marroni – the “cousin” of chestnuts. The intriguing blend yields a product that reveals an aroma of grappa, while offering a surprisingly velvety, soft mouthfeel. The secret technique employed by Lombardi e Visconti remains closely guarded. Interestingly, the flavour of Marroni emerges subtly, lingering as an exquisite aftertaste. Marroni, known for their reluctance to release their aromatic properties, contribute to the liqueur’s distinctive character.

How to use: given the pleasantness and easiness on the palate of this flavoured Grappa (where the Marroni is perceived in a persistent way), especially in the Summer, serve Marroncino at a temperature of about 10/12° C.

Alcohol: 35% vol.

Size: 0.5 L

Marroncino: A Unique Fusion of Grappa and Marroni

Marroncino is an exquisite liqueur crafted from the meticulous maceration of Grappa and Marroni, the “cousins” of chestnuts. This unique blend offers an aromatic profile that reveals the depth of Grappa, while simultaneously providing a surprisingly velvety mouthfeel. With its secret-making technique, which remains closely guarded by Lombardi e Visconti, Marroncino presents an extraordinary drinking experience, where the subtle yet distinctive flavour of Marroni lingers elegantly on the palate.

The Secret Behind Marroncino
At the heart of Marroncino lies a fascinating and intricate process of macerating high-quality Grappa with Marroni. Marroni, distinct from regular chestnuts, are known for their rich and earthy flavour, though they are often reluctant to release their full aromatic potential. By using a closely guarded technique, Lombardi e Visconti has succeeded in unlocking the true essence of Marroni, creating a liqueur that blends the robust characteristics of Grappa with the subtle sweetness of chestnut. The result is a beautifully complex liqueur that has both the aromatic strength of Grappa and the soft, mellow nature of Marroni. The maceration process enhances the nutty flavour profile, leaving a soft, rounded mouthfeel that lingers, making it a truly pleasurable drink.

A Flavour Profile Like No Other
The distinctive flavour of Marroncino starts with the bold, clear notes of Grappa, the Italian pomace brandy that is celebrated for its rich, fruity, and slightly herbal aroma. However, what makes Marroncino truly special is the seamless integration of Marroni, which imparts a delicate, nutty sweetness. These flavours come together harmoniously to create a liqueur that is both aromatic and smooth. The richness of Marroni is subtly present throughout the tasting experience, and it is the aftertaste that truly makes Marroncino stand out. The natural sweetness of the Marroni creates a lingering aftertaste that is both pleasant and memorable, giving the drink a complexity that is hard to replicate. Unlike other chestnut liqueurs, Marroncino doesn’t overwhelm with sweetness. Instead, the unique maceration process draws out a softness that balances the strength of Grappa while allowing the Marroni to reveal their full flavour potential. This combination creates a unique mouthfeel that is both smooth and velvety, making Marroncino a true standout in the world of liqueurs.

How to Enjoy Marroncino
Marroncino is best enjoyed chilled, especially during the warmer months. For an optimal experience, serve Marroncino at a temperature of approximately 10 to 12°C. This slightly cool temperature enhances the drink’s refreshing quality and allows the flavours of the Marroni and Grappa to truly shine. Due to its smooth and approachable flavour profile, Marroncino is a versatile liqueur that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of foods. It is an ideal digestif, perfect for sipping after a meal, or it can be served as a delightful accompaniment to desserts, particularly those with nutty or sweet notes.
