Find out more

Grappa is an one-off distillate made by the distillation of a raw material: marc, that is the skin of grapes after their squeezing to produce wine.

The aromatized nourishments of grapes skin represent the chief aroma of Grappa, since they are to be found  from the beginning  in this part of the fruit. In grapes skin a vast quantity of aromatized nourishments are preserved to give us unforgettable scents. Just a few different kinds of fruits can compete with the aromatic complexity of grapes. Grappa coming from grapes skin brings a vast range of scents with it, from flowers to fruits, from sweet spices to citrus fruits, candied fruits and officinal notes.

The quality of marc represents the main and most important element to obtain a good product. His freshness and state of preservation are fundamental, since their worsening may result in the final product . If the fermented marc is not distillated in short times, it is necessary to preserve them through a specific treatment, to a void their spoilage and moulding. The preservation of marc is consequently fundamental, since a spoilt march would produce Grappa of bad quality. For our Grappa we do not forget any of these demands.
