grappas
Italian grape spirits
Grappas is the plural of grappa, an Italian brandy distilled from grape pomace—the skins, seeds, and stems left after winemaking.
Once considered a rough peasant drink, grappa has been refined into a respected digestif.
The restaurant offered several grappas, from young and fiery to aged and smooth.
