Bottega’s Amarone pomace
Bottega’s technical sheet for Grappa Amarone Alexander names Corvina and Rondinella pomace. The grape skins come from pressing the dried grapes used to make Amarone, linking this example’s raw material to the Valpolicella wine’s appassimento process.
The producer describes three distillation stages at different temperatures in copper stills, using a vacuum and indirect bain-marie heating. Before bottling, the grappa rests in steel tanks. These are the methods described for the named Alexander product.
