Our attention is not just focused on the world of wine. Another, related segment that intrigues us is the world of distillates. Currently we produce a white grappa from 100% Syrah marc and a reserve grappa.The idea of creating a grappa stems from our desire to create something unique and exclusive. In fact, we are the only cellar in Cortona to produce a grappa from its main grape variety.
This product has always fascinated us because, unlike other distillates, it does not need to extract flavor by resting in wooden barrels, nor does it need to be flavored in any way. As soon as it flows out of the alembic still, it already has its own unique taste, as well as a decisive and biting character.
As we like to say, "grappa improves with time, and time improves with grappa." This distillate is a true expression of this wonderful part of Tuscany.
La Zita is our 100% Syrah grappa. It is distilled using our Syrah grape marc. It is distilled carefully with a discontinuous method and with the manual cutting of head, heart and tail done by the Master Distiller. The result is a soft and fragrant white grappa.
La Zita Golden is our 100% Syrah Reserve grappa, distilled exclusively from our Syrah grape pomace and aged in our French Oak Barriques. The meticulous distillation process, using the discontinuous method with manual separation of Head, Heart, and Tail, carried out by the Master Distiller for each batch, gives birth to an amber, smooth, aromatic, and incredibly complex grappa.
