Grappa of Süd Tirol: purity and aromaticity
South Tyrol is the name of this predominantly mountainous region, nestled among splendid peaks and valleys rich in history. A journey through the ages, from Roman conquests to Frederick Barbarossa’s descent into Italy.
The historical mosaic
The Romans crossed it to conquer ancient Germany, and Frederick Barbarossa traveled through these lands during his descent into Italy. The proud South Tyrolean population has managed to create a garden out of rugged territories often sparse in arable plains, creating terraced cultivations. Benedictine and Augustinian monks, and the Prince-Bishopric of Bressanone, are just some of the very important historical factors that gave these lands a character that is still visible today.
Characterful vineyards
The environmental conditions, at the extreme limit of the Mediterranean climate, favor the development of aromatic white grape varieties such as Gewürztraminer and Goldmuskateller. But you can also find other interesting varieties such as Weissburgunder, Chardonnay, Riesling, Kerner, and Veltliner. The red grape varieties reveal the typicity of the territory in the splendid Lagrein, Merlot, Cabernet, and Pinot Noir. Such a landscape can only offer high-quality pomace to the South Tyrolean stills, traditionally using the bain-marie method.
South Tyrolean Grappas
The profile of South Tyrolean Grappas recalls the purity of the crystal-clear waters flowing from the mountains and the aromaticity of its white grape varieties, with intense but measured fruity notes. Although these Grappas do not shy away from prolonged aging in wood, the best response to tasting remains in their youth.
