Signora Grappa
Piedmont, Italy

A beautiful grappa made from the pomace of the family’s Ruché distilled by their friends at Cascina La Noce in Biella. The grapes aromatic profile really shines here, with gentle floral notes before the fire hits, this is a seriously invigorating drink. Just one hundred bottles were produced.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Nadia Verrua’s family has been making wines in the hills of Monferrato in the province of Asti for over a century.

Their ten hectares of fascinating local grape varieties are farmed organically, planted over soft, sandy slopes in Scurzolengo, Castagnole Monferrato and Montemagno. They also keep a large number of hazelnut trees and it is little secret that Nadia’s mum Teresa makes one of the best torta di nocciole in all of Piemonte.

In the simple, old fashioned cantina beneath the family’s home, the wines are made with simple tools and raised in a mixture of big old botti, vats and cement, with nothing added at any stage.

The results are rustic, charming wines which are full of life and encapsulate all that is great about Italian vino da tavola.
