MANUCCI SPIRITS & DISTILLERY…

Manucci Spirits produces Italian aperitif and flavored Brandy. Unlike most grape Brandy producers, using winery waste or run-offs, we actually use our premium quality fermentation mash (sacrificial wines) to make ours. Small batches of each of our seven varietals are slowly distilled with lower proof to retain the incredible flavors, then combined to get the rich complex characteristics which we call the Sinful-7. All these can be enjoyed solo or in your favorite cocktail.

GRAPPA…

From the ancient Egyptians to Mediterranean alchemists, all the way to our tables, grappa is not only the perfect, elegant conclusion to a good Italian meal, but also a symbol of the magic and mystery that, for centuries, has been associated with the making of spirits in Europe.   Correctly, grappa should be swirled gently in the glass and then brought to your nose, before tasting. It is then tasted in small sips. In Italy, grappa is also added to espresso to make a “Caffè Corretto,” a popular after-dinner concoction.

 

 

 

 

 

BARREL AGED GRAPPA…

Aging Grappa in an oak barrel for a period of time, also know as “Cognac,” allows us to create a much smoother Spirit with deep amber color and a nose of toasted walnut. Just released our long awaited Single Barrel Aged 5 Year Brandy. What a surprise, we didn’t even know what to expect, until we opened this sleepy single barrel after five years and wow… Managed to only produce 80-cases, get yours soon, promise you it won’t last long. The taste and aromas are a cross between Cognac & Bourbon, and truly unlike any others…

 

 

LIMONCELLO…

Our limoncello is handcrafted from a generations old Italian recipe. It is an infusion of locally grown organic Meyer lemons, zested and steeped in our own distilled brandy. A shot of ice-cold limoncello is traditionally served as the perfect finish to a meal. This may just transport you to the Amalfi Coast.

 

INFUSED BRANDY…

“All Natural Ingredients” . For our infusions, patience is a virtue; handcrafted in every sense they impart the beauty of their own individuality. Here are some of our creations inspired by our friends & family members; Pomegranate, Star Anise, Espresso Coffee Beans, Habanero & Garlic. Sip it straight or make a cocktail
