BULGARI DISTILLERY

OUR FRUIT BRANDY

We proudly make our GRAPPA (rakia, ракия, tsipouro, raki, rakija) out of wine, not skins, pulp, seeds, and stems (i.e., the pomace) left over from winemaking process. That makes our Grappa mild on taste, rich in flavor and with bouquet, brilliant yet delicate aroma. We ferment the grapes using world's best strains of wine yeasts and distill the wines at very low temperatures so that we can transfer the aromas into the final product. Majority of grapes varieties we use are grown on the West Coast of USA, mostly California.
