Grappa Stravecchia

Grappa^? is a distillate of the pomace^? of grapes. It is made according to the traditional "bain-marie" method, whereby pomace is placed in copper alembics set in steel boilers. The heat produced by the boiling water in the steel boilers, and the steam entering the copper alembics, give rise to the actual distillation process of the pomace therein. During distillation the headings and tailings are removed manually and the result is grappa averaging 75% alcohol^? by volume. Demineralized water with 0.7% sugar^? content is added in order to bring grappa down to the desired alcoholic strength. Grappa thus obtained is filtered, cooled down to 16 degrees below zero and then filtered again. The final product with 43% alcohol by volume is absolutely clear, colourless and stable, no longer affected by changing temperatures.

This Grappa is aged in oak^? barrels for a period of 24 months. Its dry^? and strong taste^? is rounded off by its long repose in barrels.
