Di Giampaolo Espresso Maestrale - Espresso Italiano

Di Giampaolo Caffè Espresso Maestrale - Espresso Italiano

1000g Espresso coffee, whole bean

Mixing ratio: 80% Arabica beans/20% Robusta beans

The Maestrale (Mistral) is a northwesterly wind that is noticeable in the lower Rhône Valley. Etymologically, Maestrale is derived from two different meanings of the words "master" or "masterly".

These two words perfectly describe the Espresso Blend from Caffè Di Giampaolo.

Di Giampaolo Caffè entrusts only the most discerning roasters to the Espresso Maestrale. Only perfect craftsmanship can create such a unique blend. From the very first sip, this espresso greets the palate with rich, dark chocolate. Fruity notes of pineapple and citrus fruits complement this, adding a subtle flavor boost. A hint of pepper also characterizes this espresso.

Sensory analysis reveals exceptional freshness, imparted by a subtle fruity note. The medium drum roasting process and the inclusion of Ugandan Robusta beans give the Maestrale a beautiful crema. It is best enjoyed straight as an espresso or with hot frothed milk as a cappuccino.

The unique character of this coffee has been rewarded with one of the highest certifications an espresso can receive: the certificate of official Espresso ItalianoIt is from INEI (Istituto Nazionale Espresso Italiano). The institute protects and promotes authentic espresso, and has been doing so since 1998.
