| What is Grappa? |
|---|
| Grappa, literally translated, means "grape stalk". It's a distilled beverage made from the stalk, seeds, and stems that are left-over from the winemaking process. It can be anywhere from 30%-65% alcohol but what we see today is typically 40-45%. It's normally dry and served after the meal to "aid digestion" but some makers will add syrup to sweeten the flavor and the sweeter Grappas have become popular in America. |

Italian winemaker Vittorio Sattui arrived in San Francisco in 1882 with his new bride, Kattarina, to begin their life in America. Born in Genoa, Vittorio, like his father before him, was by trade a baker from the small hilltown of Carsi. In San Francisco, Vittorio at first worked as a baker, making wine in his spare time, while Kattarina took in washing . . .
