✨ Technical Specifications
Grappa Sito Moresco is a masterfully crafted pomace brandy from the legendary Gaja estate in Piedmont, Italy. It is distilled from the pomace of Gaja's 'Sito Moresco' wine, which historically blends Nebbiolo, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The name 'Sito Moresco' pays homage to the original owner of the historic vineyard plot in Barbaresco. To capture the pure, aromatic essence of these grapes, the fresh pomace is distilled in copper alembic stills under a vacuum-sealed system, a method that preserves the delicate, volatile aromas of the fruit. This produces a grappa of exceptional clarity, elegance, and complexity, reflecting both the innovative spirit of Angelo Gaja and the deep-rooted distilling traditions of the Langhe region.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1859 by Giovanni Gaja in the village of Barbaresco, Piedmont, Gaja has evolved into one of the world's most celebrated and visionary wine estates. The house was catapulted to international acclaim under the transformative stewardship of Angelo Gaja, who revolutionized Italian viticulture by pioneering green harvesting, temperature-controlled fermentations, French barrique aging, and single-vineyard bottlings. Today, alongside legendary Nebbiolo expressions such as Barbaresco, Sorì San Lorenzo, and Sperss, the family crafts benchmark whites like Gaia & Rey, fine grappas, and acclaimed wines from their Tuscan estates in Bolgheri and Montalcino. Uncompromising in quality and innovation while deeply rooted in their heritage, the Gaja family produces intensely expressive, structured, and age-worthy masterpieces that define modern Italian fine wine.
