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.
Grappa is traditionally served chilled in small glasses and served after the meal, as the Italians believe that it aids digestion. Correctly, Grappa should be swirled gently in the glass and then brought to your nose, before tasting. It is then tasted in small sips. In Italy, Grappa is also added to espresso to make a "Cafe Corretto," a popular after-dinner concoction.
Grappa Aglianico is distilled from pomace (min 75% by weight) and lees (min 25% by weight) of Aglianico, from suitable areas and selected when pressing.
Nose characteristics are a fresh, fragrant Grappa, with hints of black currant and light spicy and balsamic.
The taste of Grappa Aglianico is sweet and smooth with a particularly fruity flavour.
Grappa Aglianico is crystal clear with the absolute no suspended particulates or turbidity.
