Sciacche Triple

Sciacche Triple — Tripel Aged in Sciacchetrà Barrels — Maltus Faber

Sciacche Triple is a unique beer, crafted by Maltus Faber, an artisanal brewery from Genoa (Liguria). The idea of aging a Tripel in barrels is not very common, at least in Italy, but it is especially the choice of barrels that makes Sciacche Triple a unique product deeply connected to the Ligurian territory: these are barrels that previously held Sciacchetrà, the historically most renowned wine of the Cinque Terre, produced by Azienda Agricola Possa.

Sciacchetrà: the wine of the Cinque Terre in a glass

Sciacchetrà is the passito wine of the Cinque Terre — made from Bosco, Albarola, and Vermentino grapes dried in the sun — one of the rarest and most prized Ligurian wines in the world. The barrels from Azienda Agricola Possa impart to the Tripel their delicate and refined notes of raisins, honey, and wood.
