TASTING NOTE:
Grappa is a uniquely Italian drink. Traditionally, made from pomace, the discarded grape seeds, stalks, and stems that are a by-product of the winemaking process, Grappa has been around since the middle ages. For generations, Italians have sipped this 'firewater' after meals and even added a little to their morning espresso and in the evening to make a 'Cafe Corretto', a popular after-dinner concoction.

This grappa was produced by a double distillation of grape lees and marc from the carefully managed grape skins from the dried Corvina and Rondinella grapes used in the production of their Amarone wine.

In the glass this Grappa is crystal clear and transparent in colour. This traditional high quality Grappa with its rich, generous and distinctive aromatic tones of dry, intense and profound style, hints of raisins and herbs. Concentrated and dry on the palate, with a fiery finish.

Grappa is served chilled in small glasses and served after the meal, as the Italians believe that it aids digestion. It's a fiery, but tasty beverage, just the thing for a cold winter's night.
