In the year 1846,
in a small village among the castles and vineyards of Monferrato in Piemonte
north-west of Italy, just before the first of indipence waer, an ingenious
man was tryng experiments in fermentation.
FILIPPO MAZZETTI
began his activity in distillation with the remains of the
grapes that are rich in alcool immediately often the wine is extracted.
A colourless and
crystalclear liquid full of bouquet started to flow from that first steaming
alambic, that liquid was named GRAPPA. |
