Ingredients for Grappa

Method

Directions to Make Grappa

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pomace

    Collect fresh grape pomace from winemaking, ensuring it is free from any mold or undesirable elements.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a fermentation vessel, combine the grape pomace with water and add the yeast. Stir well to ensure the yeast is evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Fermentation Process

    Cover the fermentation vessel with a cloth and let it sit at room temperature for about 1-2 weeks, stirring occasionally. The mixture should bubble and froth as fermentation occurs.

  4. 4

    Distillation

    After fermentation is complete, transfer the mixture to a still. Heat the still slowly and collect the distillate (the vapor that condenses back into liquid) as it comes out. The first liquid collected is typically higher in alcohol content.

  5. 5

    Collection and Aging

    Collect the distillate in separate containers. The grappa can be consumed immediately, or aged in wood barrels for a smoother flavor.
