A strong, clear alcoholic drink made in Italy from the skins, seeds, and stems left over after grapes are pressed for wine.
From Italian 'grappa,' possibly derived from Italian 'graspo' meaning 'grape stalk.' It's been produced in Italy since the Middle Ages as a way to use every part of the grape.
Grappa is basically the 'nose-to-tail' movement of wine—instead of throwing away the leftover grape parts, Italian makers fermented them into this powerful spirit. It's so strong that it's served in tiny glasses, and you sip it like medicine rather than guzzle it like beer!
