Many in Italy believe Capovilla Distillati to be the best producer of Grappa in the country. Capovilla works from Rosà, a little town near Bassano del Grappa in the Vicenza province. He has chosen to distil his Grappa using small stills that he has especially built for him by a German artisan. He has also chosen to use an artisanal distillation method for his products with slow bain-marie distillation, no added sugars or alcohol, using very ripe fruit grown in high hillside vineyards. After a few years in stainless steel vats, it is bottled. Each bottle leaving production is hand labelled with a production number and a wax seal in the colour of the fruit that it was distilled from.

Grappa di Merlot is made from Merlot grapes. It is a crystal clear grappa with plenty of fruit and earthy spice powering its flavour profile. Perfect with a chocolate cake!
