25. GRAPPA
• What is grappa?
The name “grappa” originally comes from the
Italian word “grappolo”, meaning grape. Grappa
is distilled from grape skins, or pomace. The
pomace is a byproduct of wine-making. Grappa
is therefore a type of pomace brandy. The term
“grappa” may only be used for Italian pomace
brandies.

26. GRAPPA
GRAPPA IS A FRAGRANT GRAPE-BASED
POMACE BRANDY OF BETWEEN 38% AND 80%
ALCOHOL BY VOLUME), OF ITALIAN ORIGIN
LITERALLY "GRAPE STALK", MOST GRAPPA IS
MADE BY DISTILLING POMACE, GRAPE RESIDUE
(MAINLY THE SKINS, BUT ALSO STEMS AND
SEEDS) LEFT OVER FROM WINEMAKING AFTER
PRESSING

27. HOW IS
GRAPPA MADE?
• In Italy, the use of the so-called direct distillation process
is compulsory. This method of distillation is very complex.
However, it guarantees top quality grappa.
The first stage of grappa production varies according to the
type of grapes used. This depends on the time at which the
pomace, the grape skins, are separated from the must, or
grape juice. When making white wine, the pomace is
separated from the must immediately. This means that the
pomace first has to be fermented by adding specially
selected yeasts. When making red wine, the grape skins are
fermented together with the must. The pomace is already
fermented and the distillation process can begin directly.
The pomace is now heated. The vapors rise, are conducted
away, then cooled and collected in a suitable receptacle.
This distillation process is repeated at various
temperatures. Every single substance has a specific
temperature at which it evaporates, i.e. is distilled. This is
how the undesirable substances are separated from the
pure alcohol vapors and aromatic substances.

Jacopo Poli, Nardini, Nonino.

29. CALVADOS
• Calvados is distilled from specially
grown and selected apples
• The apples used are either sweet (such as

pressed into a juice that is fermented into a
cider

• After two years aging in oak casks, it
can be sold as Calvados

30. CALVADOS
• The longer it is aged, the smoother the drink
becomes

renders it suitable for longer use and

flavor but with less complexity
