Grappa Zeni Teroldego

Zeni Teroldego Grappa is produced from the Teroldego grape of the same name. This red grape, rich in color and sugars, is harvested at the end of September. After pressing, it ferments on the skins for about ten days; once the wine is separated, the pomace is pumped directly into the distillery's boilers, without any pressing or storage in other containers. The fermented pomace is placed in stills, where it is slowly distilled to obtain pomace spirit, or grappa. The resulting grappa ages for about a year in steel barrels, before being diluted, filtered, and bottled. After a brief maturation period, it is released for sale.

Zeni Teroldego Grappa is produced from the grape of the same name. The Austrian rulers, during their reign in Trentino, considered Teroldego Rotaliano, or 'Gold of Tyrol,' likely a derivation of the idiom 'Tiroler Gold,' an excellent wine, both for its intense, deep color, aromas of raspberry and blackberry, and for its full-bodied, rounded flavor, perfectly balanced acidity and lack of tannins: precisely, 'Gold of Tyrol.' The red grapes, rich in color and sugar, are harvested at the end of September. After pressing, they ferment on the skins for about ten days; once the wine is separated, the pomace is pumped directly into the distillery's boilers, without any pressing or storage in other containers. The fermented pomace is placed in stills, where it is slowly distilled to produce pomace brandy, or grappa. According to Trentino tradition, the still uses the 'bain-marie discontinuous' method. The resulting grappa ages for about a year in steel barrels, is diluted, filtered, and bottled. After a short maturation period, it is released for sale.
