A limited, numbered annual release from Bormio in the Stelvio mountains, Braulio Riserva Speciale is aged a minimum of two years in smaller oak barrels and left less filtered than the standard expression, giving it a higher ABV of 24.7% against the standard Braulio's 21%. It keeps the same balsamic, gentian-led alpine profile with notes of wood, roots, juniper and wormwood, finishing full-bodied and persistently bitter.
