Grappaseminar

The Art of Grappa: Masterclass at Vergani

Not all grappa is created equal. Grappa is the true art of distilling the finest grape pomace—known as Marc in France, while in Italy it remains an indispensable ritual after a hearty meal. But it is the subtle nuances that make all the difference. Discover the craft of distillation with us and experience an exclusive tasting of prized Riserva expressions.

What to Expect

What would Italy be without grappa? Hard to imagine! Inside our Enoteca Storia, we created Switzerland's very first dedicated grapperia. There and at Löwenplatz, you will find the largest selection of renowned and rare distillates from Italy. We love grappa, and through this seminar, you will come to appreciate that passion and the prestigious standing of grappa in the world of fine spirits. Naturally, we will walk you through production methods, highlight key quality indicators, and introduce you to the craft of precise distillation. Uncover the differences between varieties, the secrets of aging, and the complex nuances of flavor. An absolute must-have experience for aficionados and anyone who thought they already knew it all.

During our seminar, you will sample a carefully curated range of grappas. Starting with vibrant, youthful styles that captivate with their freshness and directness, we will guide you step-by-step toward older, more complex expressions. Experience the rich flavor profiles of spirits aged for several years, culminating in noble Riservas that impress with their depth, elegance, and finely structured aromas. Every pour offers a voyage of discovery through the diversity and refinement of this unique spirit.

Ideal for lovers of fine distillates, as well as anyone looking to truly discover and understand grappa beyond hearsay.
