GAJA Grappa Gaia & Rey (375ml)

Crystal clear with herbaceous varietal aromas, warm and inviting. On the palate, it is full and round, with spicy notes that are accentuated in the long, lingering finish. 

Grappa Gaia & Rey is meticulously produced from the pomace of the Chardonnay grapes sourced from the Gaia & Rey vineyards in the commune of Treiso and Serralunga d’Alba.

Right after the fermentation the fresh pomace is immediately distilled in a stainless steel alembic. Distillation happens at lower alcohol content and slowly in order to conserve all of the varietal characteristic and aromas. The pomace is warmed up with increasing temperatures and the alcohol vapors from the pomace is funneled into a distillation column with slow and cautious fractioning of the first and the last exhalations (the “heads” and the “tails”) in order to keep only the more delicate “heart”. At the start of this process, the grappa has an alcohol content of 70-75°. Before bottling, distilled water is added to bring the grappa to the alcohol level indicated on the label.
