BRANDY GRAPPA

CLEAR CREEK DISTILLERY USA, OREGON Founded over 30 years ago by Steve McCarthy, inspired by the great fruit brandies of Alsace. Produced the same way to this day, from whole fruit distillation on a single pass through 60-gallon pot still. There is no purer expression of the remarkable fruits of the Hood River Valley. Clear Creek Grappa Muscat 750ml / 80PF Their Grappa Muscat is made from the pressed skins and seeds of muscat grapes. It has a very floral, easy to like aroma, is smooth and pleasant to taste, and has a clean finish. ALTESINO ITALY, Grappa di Brunello di Altesino is 100% Sangiovese grape pomace. Distilled for the first time in 1977 by Master Distiller Gioacchino Nannoni, this grappa spends a minimum 6 months ageing in barrique. Altesino Grappa di Brunello 375ml / 84PF Distilled Sangiovese di Montalcino grape pomace refined in barriques. Grappa di Fattoria was created for the first time by Altesino in 1977 together with the master distiller Gioacchino Nannoni. The fresh pomace from the company is distilled a few hours after racking in a copper still, using a discontinuous method, with low degree columns. NARDINI ITALY, Nardini Spirits of Northern Italy has amassed two centuries of distilling expertise and through rigorous quality control - from local vine to bottle, Nardini grappas are not only excellent, but completely consistent, year after year. Many producers rely on spectacularly ornate glass bottles to sell product – Nardini is about what’s inside and prefers classic simple elegance and tradition. Nardini Grappa White Label 1.0L / 80PF Far and away Italy’s best-selling premium grappa, Nardini Bianca remains unchallenged as the connoisseur’s benchmark. Authentically high in strength, ‘Bianca’ fills the palate with an exciting sparkle, then—largely thanks to its fine balance and extraordinary distillation quality—surprises the drinker with its remarkably gentle follow-through. One of Italy’s bestselling premium grappas.
