Grappa Passum
(375 ml)
Cascina Castlèt
Passum Grappa is distilled using the pomace (skins and pulp) of grapes that have been pressed to make Passum, widely regarded as the top dried-grape Barbera d'Asti (Piedmont). Represented by the artist's "p" on the bottle,
passum
was the Romans' word for
passiti
or dried-grape wines. After the Barbera grapes are harvested for the wine, they are dried for up to three months before pressing. Their concentrated sugar makes for a deeply colored and intensely flavored sweet wine, high in alcohol and opulent in the mouth. After a second pressing, the sugar-rich pomace is transformed into a sublime distillate, subtly yet distinctly fragranced, complex in the mouth with multiple layers of flavor.
Winemaker Maria Borio of the Cascina Castle't winery (Asti, Piemonte) is one of the Italian wine world's leading women producers. A vibrant, colorful woman, she is known for her creative artist labels and her superior wines, often cited among the best Barberas to hail from Asti.
