Grappa

Grappa is the term reserved for grape brandies produced and distilled in Italy. The marc is the solid part of the grape, that is peel including seeds (usually withoult stalks).

Grappa

It can be divided into two types:

  1. White grape marc brandy called "unfermented" or "virgin", usually due to the "white" vinification, where the solid part of the grapes are immediately separated from the must. The grape must be naturally fermented in order to be distilled. The careful fermentation and short conservation of about 10 days increase the extraction of primary aromas that characterize the grape of origin.
  2. Red grape brandy or "brewed", either marc drained or lightly pressed, which is derived from "red grapes processing". In this case the marc is already fermented and is ready to be distilled. The timeless of its work can be transmitted to the primary and secondary "grappa" aromas of fermentation that took place n contact with the must.
