Why GRAPPINO, "Grappička"? Around 1870, grappas were produced as rural rough brandies, intended mainly for farmers who received rent in kind from the owners of the vineyards, i.e. wine matolina. Farmers burned this often inferior matolin for their brandy, mainly to survive the harsh winter season in the Trentino region. After the establishment of the Distilleria Bertagnolli in 1870, the owners tried to reach the Austrian Habsburg court with their grappa. However, they had to go the route of first-class fresh, pleasant clean grappa. Therefore, they often gave the winegrowers a very difficult task. Deliver fresh matolin to the distillery, still full of fruit juice. This gave rise to the iconic GRAPPINO grappa, soft and fresh.

RECOMMENDATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER: after pouring the grappa into the glass, let it rest for a while so that the aroma develops more.
