DISTILLATION AND AGEING
Distillation
Grappa is produced by distilling grape pomace, a process that allows the aromatic compounds naturally present in grape skins to be extracted and enhanced.
Distillation is one of the most distinctive traditions of Italian winemaking culture, transforming grape pomace into a spirit with an intense and recognisable character.
Ageing
The subsequent ageing in oak barrels contributes to the evolution of the spirit, encouraging greater aromatic complexity and the development of nuances derived from contact with the wood.
During this process, the grappa's original character gradually becomes more layered, creating a richer and more refined expression.
TASTING NOTES
Appearance
Oak-aged grappas typically display golden hues and amber reflections, developed through contact with the wood during ageing.
On the Nose
The aromatic profile of oak-aged grappa may reveal notes of vanilla, sweet spices and delicate toasted nuances, intertwined with the original aromas of the spirit.
On the Palate
Ageing in oak can contribute to a rounder, more complex palate, combining the distinctive intensity of grappa with the flavours and sensations developed during maturation.
The Finish
Oak ageing encourages greater complexity, which may be expressed through a lingering, spicy and enveloping aromatic finish.
