GRAPPA INVECCHIATA

As Mario Soldati well said:

  If wine is the poetry of the earth, grappa is its soul 

 Undoubtedly it is the Italian distillate par excellence, a protected denomination reserved for the Italian territory.

 It is part of our history and our tradition. There is no happy dinner with family or friends that doesn't end with a glass of grappa.

 It comes from the distillation of pomace, it is not made with grapes or wine, but with their waste products which, like other popular products in Italy, is the result of an ancient philosophy and peasant culture in which nothing is thrown away, according to this it is therefore also a “sustainable” distillate. 

 The pomace is the solid part (composed mainly of skins) left over from pressing the grapes and it is precisely in the skins that all the aromas and flavors of the grapes are concentrated. Distillation is the process used to separate the alcohol and aromatic substances from the fermented pomace which must be healthy, fresh and moist, it must not have been pressed at 100%.

 Our aged grappa rests in wooden barrels for at least 12 months after distillation before being bottled.

 Aging in wood enriches the grappa with a vast range of secondary and tertiary aromas, which are added to the primary ones of the pomace. making every sip a rich and varied olfactory experience. Contact with wood not only affects the aromas but also the structure of the grappa, giving it greater softness and roundness.
