spirits with a unique and persuasive taste like grappa. The best ones have been selected by the Italian Sommelier Foundation.
In the new edition of the Bibenda Guide 2025, a jury of sommeliers has awarded the best grappas from all over Italy, carefully choosing the excellences from each region and awarding them the 5 Grappoli recognition.
This distillate, as per regulations, can only be made in Italy with the exception of San Marino and Italian Switzerland. The production phase starts from the marc exhausted, which are transformed from wine production “waste” into valuable resources.
This is how grappa is born in a process, that of distillation, which combines the touch of magic conferred by early alchemists the separation of volatile from nonvolatile substances of the starting fermented in the stills. Distilling means, in fact, just that.
After all, those who are fond of distilled spirits are well aware that they have in their glass a taste of an extraordinary and peculiar production capable of continually surprising.
