Gaja Grappa Sperss 375 ml

The Gaja Grappa Sperss (375 ml) is an elegant and refined expression of Italian eaux-de-vie, born from Nebbiolo pomace grown in Gaja’s iconic Sperss vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba, Piedmont.

🔶 Production & Terroir

• Pomace source: 100% Nebbiolo, sourced immediately after fermentation from the Sperss vineyard—an amphitheater of clay-calcareous marl at about 1,210 ft a.s.l., with vines averaging 50 years in age.

• Distillation: The pomace is slowly distilled in column stills. Only the “heart” fraction is collected, while the heads and tails are discarded to ensure purity.

• Aging: Matured for approximately 30 months in oak barrels, giving it a subtle golden hue.

• ABV: Bottled at 45%.

🌟 Overall Impression

A beautifully balanced and elegant grappa, Sperss stands out for its restraint and finesse.

Ideal for contemplative sipping, it’s an excellent digestif or luxurious after-dinner spirit.
