Caffo Grappa Stravecchia
Caffo Grappa Stravecchia
Description
Caffo Grappa Stravecchia is produced by the Caffo family distillery in Limbadi, Calabria — a family business dating to 1894 when Giuseppe Caffo began distilling pomace on the slopes of Mount Poro. Stravecchia (“very old”) indicates extended aging in wood, producing a smooth, amber-colored grappa with vanilla and dried fruit character from the barrel.
Grappa is distilled from grape pomace — the skins, seeds, and stems remaining after wine pressing. Caffo’s Stravecchia expression starts from this base and is aged in small oak barrels, transforming the raw pomace character into a more refined, oak-integrated spirit. Caffo remains family-owned and produces from Calabrian grapes, reflecting the distinctive southern Italian terroir of the region.
