Awesome grapes shared by Nick at Cucina Di Pesce! The kind of grapes to make ‘Grappa:Italy’s Elixir’ that was brought in fromMontenegro 10 years ago to be planted in the back garden of this wonderful Italian restaurant, Cucina Di Pesce, in East Village!
Grappa is a uniquely Italian drink. Traditionally, made from pomace, the discarded grape seeds, stalks, and stems that are a by-product of the winemaking process, Grappa has been around since the Middle Ages. For generations, Italians have sipped this “firewater” after meals and even added a little to their morning espresso, to “correct” it. Once considered an acquired taste, popular only in Italy, Grappa, today, is making itself known around the world. Distilleries from Australia to Oregon, as well as Italy, are trying their hand at making Grappa, with surprisingly good results.
May I expect Grappa produced right at the garden of Cucina Di Pesce someday…? Will be a blast!
