Impavid Italian Wine Vodka

Impavid is an Italian vodka that swaps the usual grain or potato base for distilled wine, with the source fields also noting potato in the makeup, giving it a fuller body underneath the grape lift. Distilling from wine is what sets it apart: grape spirit carries a natural fruitiness, and Impavid is run through several distillations in small batches to clean it up while keeping some of that varietal character intact. At 40%, the result is velvety and rounded rather than sharp, with a faint sweetness that grain vodkas rarely show.

The nose is fresh and pure with subtle grape notes, the palate soft and velvety with gentle fruit and a clean, elegant sweetness, and the finish runs long and harmonious. A spirit this fruit-forward deserves to be tasted, so serve it on its own, straight from the freezer, in a small chilled glass as an after-dinner pour, where the cold tightens the texture and the grape character reads clearly without anything else in the way.
