Why Is Grappa Piave Famous?
Grappa is an important aspect of Italian heritage — and Grappa Piave is a product born from the expertise of the Maestri Distillatori in Conegliano Veneto, where the tradition of grappa distillation has been refined over centuries. The meticulous selection of pressed grape pomace from renowned wine regions, combined with the traditional distillation method and modern technological equipment, results in a grappa of exceptional quality and consistency. Selezione Cuore — made only from the heart of the distillate — is the benchmark expression of this celebrated tradition.
What Is Selezione Cuore?
In grappa distillation, the distillate is divided into three parts: the heads, the heart, and the tails. The heads and tails contain undesirable compounds including methyl alcohol and primary alcohol, and are eliminated during production. The heart — the cuore — is the finest, most valued, and most pure part of the distillate. Grappa Piave Selezione Cuore is made exclusively from this heart, delivering a grappa of exceptional smoothness, purity, and aromatic refinement that has earned it the title of Master Grappa.
What’s Similar?
Fans of Grappa Piave Selezione Cuore may also enjoy other white grappas from the Veneto and Friuli regions for a comparable purity and smoothness, or explore aged grappa expressions for a richer, more complex character. For a similar Italian digestivo experience, Amaro and Limoncello offer alternative expressions of Italian post-dinner tradition.
