Grappa Wines
Although perhaps better known for their stunning wines, the Gaja family also make a remarkable range of Grappa. In their talented hands Italy’s definitive after dinner drink is an elegant spirit to be sipped and savoured as a digestivo, or enjoyed in a variety of classic and modern cocktails.
The Gajas produce this iconic Italian spirit, as much a part of Italian food and wine culture as Spaghetti al Pomodoro or Brunello di Montalcino, at each of their three Estates and we are delighted to offer a range of five unique Grappas.
So, forget every preconception you have about this wonderful digestivo, these are beautifully structured spirits, every bit as stylish as the family that produce them
Pioneers of Artisanal Italian Wine

GajaGrappa di Barbaresco
Made with Nebbiolo sourced from Gaja family vineyards which have an average age of 45 years, this Grappa is bright, clear and crisp with aromas of ripe and dried fruit. The beautifully integrated palate has warm spicy notes and a lingering finish.
-
Pieve Santa RestitutaGrappa di Brunello di Montalcino Rennina
This Grappa, made from the Sangiovese grape sourced from the Rennina vineyards of this beautiful Tuscan estate, is luminous with a delicate aroma, a rich structure and intensely floral notes. It has excellent concentration and a slightly peppery finish.
-
Ca'MarcandaGrappa Magari
Made from the pomace of the seductive Magari from the stunning Ca’Marcanda Estate in Bolgheri, this Grappa has a full floral nose showing accents of resin. The resulting spirit is well balanced with good structure and a good line of development from the nose to the intense finish.
-
GajaGrappa Rossj Bass
Rossj-Bass is a predominately Chardonnay blend grown in the family owned vineyards in Langhe. It’s the Chardonnay grapes which give this Grappa it’s full and fruity bouquet while on the palate it is well balanced and has an enchantingly long finish, clearly exhibiting the varietal characteristics of this much sought-after wine.

GajaGrappa Sperss
Sperss is the name of the 12ha vineyard in the commune of Serralunga which was acquired by the Gaja family in 1988. Here they produce some of their most famous Barolo wines from the Nebbiolo grape, and also this Grappa which has a delicate golden colour and attractive aromas of ripe fruits, hazelnuts and raisins. Beautifully rounded, it has a balanced body and a long full finish.
