what is the difference between white Grappa and yellow Grappa?
It must be said that all Grappas are born white, transparent, because the colour of the raw material does not evaporate.
If we see instead that the Gappa has a golden hue it can be for two reasons: either it has been aged or it has been infused with vegetable substances.
In the first case, during ageing, the Grappa will absorb aromatic and chromatic tones from the wood and can therefore take on a colour ranging from pale straw to a more intense, amber colour.
If, on the other hand, the Grappa has been used to make an infusion with vegetable substances, such as liquorice root or chamomile flowers, then these substances will give off a hue that can also vary in this case from a lighter to a more intense yellow.
All white Grappas are therefore young, but if a Grappa is yellow it may be due to ageing or infusion.
This can be understood by reading the label.
Good Grappa to all!
