Grappa is the name given by Italian law to the distilled spirit obtained through the distillation of the pomace of pressed grapes (skins, seeds, small quantity of pulp, must and wine). Good quality pomace comes from soft pressed grapes. Mono-variety soft-pressed grapes are the basic raw material used by the good "grappaioli" or grappa producers. MAROLO only distills the pomace of quality grapes grown in vineyards recognized for their prestigious locations. The pomace, at the moment of distillation, should be between 4-5% alcohol (8-10 proof) for red grapes and 2-4% (4-8 proof) for white grapes. This alcohol is generated by the fermentation of the pomace in contact with the must. Depending on the type of fermentation, the alcohol content of the pomace will vary.
