A 12 year old Speyburn is the first bottling of the Marble Collection launched in spring 2022: a series freely inspired by the cosmatesque floors of medieval churches. The Cosmati, one of the most important Roman marble workers of the 12th century, revolutionized the world and influenced it with their art: when we select a product we make sure that every piece is in its place and, inspired by the greats of the past, we take a step towards the future .
After fully maturing in a first-fill ex-bourbon barrel, it was bottled at the full grade of 55.2%. Not cold filtered and without the addition of dyes, it is available in just 90 bottles.
The label is a detail of a Cosmatesque present in the Cathedral of Santa Maria degli Angeli, San Matteo and San Gregorio VII, Salerno.
Nose: Of a unique freshness, with fruit that dominates with notes of pear, green apple and pineapple. It surprisingly opens on hints of white chocolate, vanilla and shortcrust pastry.
Palate: Full-bodied with a vanilla wafer sweetness, making room for hints of nutmeg and honey.
Final: Persistent with a sweetness that fades to make room for floral and spicy notes with pleasant hints of tobacco.
