Distiller Notes
Jacopo Poli Moscato is a clear brandy with pronounced aromas of rose, magnolias, orange blossom and sage. On the palate it is well-rounded and mouth filling with a light touch of orange citrus fruit in the finish.

Mesmerizing perfumes of orange blossom and honeysuckle emerge from the glass; following aeration the aromas become a mix of orange, citrus, peach and tangerine. Entry is lusciously fruity, peachy and orange marmalade-like; the midpalate is gently sweet with ripe fruit flavors that highlight the orange, citrus and tangerine components. Finish is succulently ripe with a riot of evolved fruit tastes. Range: 96-100
Taking its name from the Dutch term, brandewijn, for burnt or cooked wine, in the broadest sense of the term, Brandy is any liquor made from the distillation of fruit wine. Though any kind of fruit may be used, wine grapes are the most common. Clear Brandy, commonly referred to as Eau de Vie, is unaged and bottled directly after distillation. Finer grape-based Brandies are often aged in oak barrels for anywhere from two years (VS) to six years (XO) or longer, gradually gaining color and complexity as they interact with the wood.
