Grappa

fly223 · Jun 13, 2014

Hello folks, anyone have a Grappa recipe that they would like to share? I have tasted varies homemade Grappa's at wine events and I'd like to try it out this year. I have plenty of wine grape skins since we press our own grapes every year.

Thanks

Isnt' this made thru distillation? Can't discuss that here, sorry.

Yup, Grappa is illegal for home winemakers.

I wonder why the wine events I attend to have contests for Grappa and Brandy?

Its fine if your a commercial distillery and have a permit.

This are just normal people (mainly older Italians) entering it.

Either you are not in the US or it is highly illegal.

ask the older Italians how they made it. they would love to leave a legacy.

Its even illegal to make at home in Italy, only approved grappa distillers can make it there.
