History,
Arzente is a wine distillate with a rather unique story behind its name.
Once upon a time Italian wine distillates were called ‘Cognac’.
That caused endless squabbles with France until on 29 May 1948, at the end of the Second World War, an agreement was signed whereby Italy renounced the Cognac denomination, reserved only for wine distillates from the Charente area, in France.
It was therefore necessary to find another name. A few years before the poet Gabriele Dannunzio had suggested to Italianize the term Cognac, replacing it with ‘Acquarzente’, then shortened to ‘Arzente’.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Aromas of herbal tea, dried fruits, nuts and toasted oak.
Palate: the brandy combines the fine, delicate aromas of Trebbiano and complex toasty notes from oak maturation; overall, it is smooth, mouth filling and elegant.
