Stravecchio Branca 1L 96 blackcurrant pastilles and chocolate boxStravecchio Branca was first launched by Fratelli Branca in 1888. For its first 120 years it was called Old Cognac but was rebranded in the 1950s due to the new French appellation laws. Rich floral notes on the nose open into luscious, jammy fig and orange notes on the palate. Its delicate body and smooth finish makes it delicious served neat or incorporated into a sidecar or brandy crusta.
