Time is precious but what it creates is even more precious
For Grana Padano PDO Riserva, time is essential to establish its undisputed high quality.
It is aged for more than 20 months and possesses excellent characteristics, attested to by the extra check it undergoes, which is followed by a second fire-brand “Riserva.”
Its taste is rich and full, fragrant and delicate… a flavour that recalls butter, hay and dried fruit.
Its evident granular structure has an accentuated presence of lactate calcium crystals, an unmistakable triangular flake structure and an intense and homogeneous straw colour.
Ideal to be enjoyed on its own or grated.
Its superlative flavour is enhanced by being paired with dessert wines, fortified wines and full-bodied, aged reds.
It is the perfect choice to satisfy true aficionados and make every meal a celebration for the gourmet palate!
