Uchida "Grappa" (Koshu grape)

A real Japanese rarity! The history of wine production in Japan began in the 19th century, and today there are various wine-growing areas in different Japanese regions. No wonder that there is now also Japanese "grappa"!

Description

The Shirayuri Uchida "Grappa" does not deny its Italian kinship, but nevertheless impresses with its very own characteristics. A rare and exciting experience that lingers long in the memory and on the tongue. This Japanese marc spirit is elegant and absolutely easy to drink. It has a mild and slightly nutty aroma. Even though wine production has existed in Japan for a long time, Japanese grape marc brandies are an absolute rarity and rarely found in the Land of the Rising Sun. The Uchida "Grappa" is the first pomace brandy ever produced in Japan. It is made from the skins of the Koshu grape, which is almost unique to Japan. Although these grapes have a reddish color, they are classified as white wine varieties. The growing areas for the Koshu grape are all located in the southern part of the main island of Honshu. The bottle of Uchida "Grappa", which looks like a flacon, is made in Italy.
