Grappa

About

Grappa, an iconic Italian spirit, and Calvados, a distinctive French brandy, are both celebrated for their unique flavours and rich heritage. At Spirits of France, we are proud to offer an exquisite selection of both, each representing the pinnacle of distilling craftsmanship from their respective countries. Grappa: Originating from Italy, Grappa is a potent and aromatic spirit made from the pomace of grapes, which includes the skins, seeds, and stems left over from winemaking. This process imparts a distinct flavour profile to Grappa, making it a spirit unlike any other. Traditionally enjoyed as a digestif, Grappa is known for its bold, earthy, and sometimes fruity flavours. It can be enjoyed neat, as a warming conclusion to a meal, or used as a base in cocktails for a robust twist. Calvados: Hailing from the Normandy region in France, Calvados is a refined apple (or occasionally pear) brandy. It is crafted through the fermentation of cider, followed by distillation and aging in oak barrels. This aging process allows Calvados to develop a complex array of flavours, ranging from fresh and fruity to rich and woody. Calvados is a versatile spirit, perfect for sipping neat, as part of a cocktail, or even used in cooking to add depth to sweet and savoury dishes. Both Grappa and Calvados are not just spirits; they are expressions of their local culture and traditions. At Spirits of France, our curated selection of Grappa and Calvados offers a glimpse into the artisanal world of these cherished spirits. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or new to these spirits, our collection is sure to provide a memorable tasting experience.
