Grappa: Italy Bottled

WINNER OF GOURMAND COOKBOOK AWARDS - The world's best drink book

Grappa – Italy bottled contains all you ever wanted to know about the Italian spirit grappa. The book is the first of its kind, revealing everything there is to know about grappa – the kinds, the production process and the history, all in a prize-awarded book full of beautiful photos by Europe’s #1 grappa expert Ove Boudin.

Grappa – Italy bottled is compulsory reading not only for the experienced grappa lover, but for everyone with an interest for Italian wine and cuisine or in love with Italy in general. Grappa, the drink as well as the book, is an essential part of La cucina Italiana and the slow-food-movement – for many a forgotten part, or rather a part still to be discovered.

The Author about grappa: “Real grappa will never be mainstream. Real grappa is human, like life itself. It changes. It is honest and sincere. Sometimes rough and cheeky, often surprising, captivating and breathtaking. Never ingratiating. A proud and self-confident character waiting for you to make the first move.”

Grappa: Italy bottledis undoubtedly one of the best books out there on grappa. Ove Boudin covers everything from discussing grape varietals, the fermentation and distillation process, to how to taste and appreciate grappa. He even weaves a narrative of his journey to distilleries through¬out the grappa producing regions of Italy, and invites the reader to do the same. This artful book is a must for any grappa, brandy, or spirits lover.
