Grappa Prosecco by Bepi Tosolini distillery
Bepi Tosolini’s Prosecco Grappa represents excellence in the art of Italian distillation. The pomace is distilled fresh from the harvest using the renowned “Tosolini method” to preserve the unique aromas and fragrances of prosecco. This process reveals a grappa that is balanced and extremely refined. Only the finest Prosecco grapes, sourced exclusively from the Veneto production area, are selected by the Tosolini family for this grappa.
Grape Selection and Distillation Method
Distillation takes place in traditional steam boilers, an artisanal method that enhances the unique characteristics of this spirit. After the distillation process, the grappa matures for 6 months in stainless steel containers, allowing for the development of a complex aromatic profile. With an alcohol content of 40% vol., this grappa maintains a strong yet harmonious character.
