Production Details A non-vintage Italian brandy made from Chardonnay wine cuvées and distilled discontinuously in Charentais-type stills. It matured in small casks for 10 years; the specialist retailer describes this as a minimum of 10 years, while Difford specifies small Limousin-oak casks. The historical Bellavista event record also describes a Chardonnay-based distillate cuvée aged 10 years in small casks.
