Dec 7thBrandy at Brianza

Brianza Gardens and Winery has a new release and it’s not wine – their new release is a Brandy.

For those unfamiliar with brandy, it is a liquor produced by distilling wine and contains a higher alcohol content that wines.  Owner and winemaker, Tony Parnigoni’s new brandy is made using his Chambourcin wine, distilling a portion and blending that with the remaining wine then aging it in a Buffalo Trace barrel. He did an excellent job!

Brianza Brandy offers complex aromas and flavors. Wine lovers will find it very enjoyable. When you pour a glass, let it breathe just a bit, then enjoy the first aromas of dark spices (cloves and cinnamon) and hazelnuts. Take a sip; the first flavor you taste are those same spices. Then when you swallow, the taste is of a just picked blackberry, leaving you with a warm finish. This brandy made from Chambourcin is a pleasant addition to the Brianza list of                                         wines.
