Grappa is a fragrant, clear, grape-based brandy of Italian origin
made by distilling the debris left in the press after grapes have
yielded up their precious juice. The debris is called pomace and
consists of skins, seeds and dry pulp. The flavour of grappa, like that of wine, depends on the type and quality of the grape used as well the specifics of the distillation process. Grappa used to be known as a cheap, portable form of central heating for peasants in northern Italy, made by traveling distillers or by industrial outfits like Stock, the Trieste brandy manufacturer. Too often it was a cheap, ill-made product, an Italian version of white lightning. Grappa is a classic spirit. It is becoming the fashionable spirit to mix in a cocktail. Grappa is also the alternative digestive to cognac. |
