Andrea Da Ponte | Grappa Bianca

Grappa Bianca Da Ponte is the result of a selection of very fresh pomace of Glera (Prosecco) grapes distilled using a particular discontinuous alembic, which we have designed and realized. This alembic works in strict compliance with the rules of the “Metodo Da Ponte”, renowned for its ability to maintain and enhance the aromatic notes of the grapes. The Grappa Bianca is limpid and crystalline, with citrus notes and white flowers that stand out in a pleasant balance with mellow tropical notes. Elegant and soft on the palate, it evolves into a pleasant aftertaste, fine and persistent. Thanks to the single-batch bain-marie pot-still method exclusive to Da Ponte, the aromatic essences emerge unusually clean and sharply-delineated. Pomace selected from the Glera vine from which the Prosecco Superiore DOCG Conegliano Valdobbiadene  is born and where Prosecco is Superiore. In 1896 Matteo Da Ponte published “Il manuale della distillazione”, the book which contains illustrations, for the first time, of the alembics he patented and the first columns for concentration of the alcoholic vapours, built to age and soften a genuine spirit yet with a rough and unsophisticated taste. The “Metodo Da Ponte” has the advantage of collecting and preserving in the distillate the most intense varietal aromas of the grape, the more delicate and volatile ones, to reintroduce them, very fresh, in every drop to be tasted. It is almost a revelation, an example which the heads of the family, in the years to come, follow scrupulously, won over by the art of distillation.
