You might have heard about this specialty of Northern Italy, the fragrant brandy called grappa. Famous for its fruity and refreshing tone. Well, not that famous if you ask me. I think that grappa is being over shadowed by whisky and cognac.
It deserves more credit than its getting. I only discovered this noble drink when my friends pointed me towards it. Stating it’s the undiscovered beauty of Italy. And that’s just what it is. Let’s make grappa great!
And let’s start the greatness by choosing the right kind of glass for it. Traditional grappa glasses have the looks of rounded champagne flutes or mini wine glasses.
Grappa glass usually has a long stem that supports its rounded bowl with thin top, making it look like an hourglass. There’s usually a widening at the top, to give away the aromas. After concentrating those aromas in that round bowl.
This silhouette not only compliments the drink, it maximizes the grappa’s flavors and aromas. Giving it room for the air to get in, and the aromas to get out controlled.
Let’s see what Produtti has to offer:
