Distilleria Gualco Camomilla
REGION: Piemonte, IT
700ml | ABV: 42%
Our grappa and camomile-based liqueur is a recipe that has always been a part of the Gualco Distillery tradition. Our version of this flavouring can be considered generous for its alcohol content at 42%, and it does not go overboard with its use of sugar. Infused for a minimum of 3 months in glass demijohns and stainless steel tanks.
The system for producing the Distilleria Gualco’s grappa is a bain-marie pot still. Using a “bain-marie” or “water bath” means that the pot of the grape pomace is not heated directly by fire but it’s surrounded by another pot of boiling water and heated to evaporation. This has the advantage of heating the grapes gently, preventing the grappa from taking on an unpleasant smoky or burnt taste and allows it to slowly evaporate, thus retaining the wine-like characteristics of the grape skins.
