A year before bottling, the distillate is transferred from the barriques to a large oak barrel so that the different brandies slowly harmonize with each other.

grappa knowledge

Did you know?

It is assumed that in Veneto and Friuli a schnapps was distilled from pressed grapes and seeds for the first time. However, there is no concrete "Grappa birthplace". From time to time one can read that Monte Grappa in Veneto and the little town of Bassano del Grappa lying at its feet are the true homeland of grappa. But this is nothing more than a "crazy idea".




The name Grappa derives from the Latin "rapus" for grape and the Italian word for grape "grappolo". In the northern Italian dialects this became "gràpo", "rappe" or "graspa".

Grappa ist ein Tresterbrand aus...

Italien. Trester ist ein Nebenprodukt bei der Weinherstellung. Meistens handelt es sich dabei um die vergorenen Rückstände der Weinproduktion, wie zum Beispiel: Traubenkerne, -schale und -fleisch. 


More about pomace... The pomace (Träber, Treber, Lauer) consists of berry skins (approx. 50%), pips (approx. 25%) and combs (approx. 25%) that remain after the wine has been pressed. The pomace is very aromatic and contains alcohol, fructose, oils, aromas, flavors, cream of tartar, minerals, polyphenols, active ingredients and organic matter.

How to drink grappa properly. In Italy, pomace brandy is traditionally served as a digestif, pure, from a grappa glass and slightly chilled. A grappa glass has a thick belly and then a long opening that tapers towards the top. This allows you to take in the pleasant aromas of the spirit with your nose.

Guidelines for grappa? Only pomace distillates produced in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland and in Italy may be called Grappa. This is referred to as a geographical protection designation. This is why the term "Marc" has become established for comparable pomace brandies in France, other fine distilleries such as Macardo call their pomace spirits "Aquavite di vinaccia", in English "pomace brandy".

Production is strictly regulated. For example, no more than 2% sugar may be added to the pomace brandy. In addition, neither dyes nor other herbal ingredients may be used for flavoring or coloring.

Even more guidelines! The Italian spirit has regulations regarding the minimum alcohol content. This must be at least 37.5% vol. lay. A "good grappa" should have at least 40% alcohol content, so that an aromatic, meaningful taste can be supported by the alcohol.

Temperatur ist Geschmackssache aber, ... 

um das gesamte Geschmacksprofil der Spirituose entfalten zu können empfehlen wir jedoch eine Trinktemperatur.
Als Daumenregel daher: klare Grappas ungefähr im Bereich von 14° bis 16°C, braune Grappas eher gegen 16° bis 20°C trinken.
