Agnesi 1799 Small Batch American Brandy

Agnesi 1799 Small Batch American Brandy is part of the Family Coppola Great Women Spirits collection — a small-batch American brandy named in honor of Maria Gaetana Agnesi, the brilliant 18th-century Italian mathematician, philosopher, and theologian who became the first woman to write a mathematics handbook and the first female mathematics professor at a university. Maria Gaetana Agnesi was a known prodigy fluent in seven languages by her eleventh birthday. Her work “Instituzioni analitiche” discussed a curve that has since been known as the Witch of Agnesi in her honor — a curve often used as a substitute for the bell curve and applied across many disciplines, including in the fermentation and fractional distillation of Maria Agnesi’s namesake brandy. The Family Coppola are lovers of wine and spirits both; when the family gathers, the custom is to have a cocktail before dinner. Every Great Women Spirits expression honors a trailblazing woman and is proofed with pristine spring water from the Coppola Napa Valley Estate.
