Grappa di Moscato

Grappa di Moscato is a traditional Italian spirit distilled from the pomace of Moscato grapes, renowned for its aromatic and flavorful profile. The production process involves distilling the skins, pulp, seeds, and stems of the grapes, resulting in a beverage with an alcohol content typically around 40% by volume. The distillation method often includes aging in oak barrels, which imparts additional complexity and depth to the flavor. Grappa di Moscato is characterized by its amber color and a bouquet that recalls the characteristic notes of Moscato, such as honey and ripe fruit, with aging in oak adding spicy and toasted notes. The taste is soft and enveloping, with a sweet and persistent finish. It is traditionally served at approximately 18°C in tulip-shaped or stemless glasses. This spirit pairs well with espresso, dark chocolate, dried fruit, nougat, almonds, chocolate, and long-aged cheese.
