  • La Grappa
    does not tolerate
    woman rivalry.
    Paolo Monelli
  • You are right - said Princivalle
    by giving her the bottle -
    this Grappa
    is a gallantry.
    Riccardo Bacchelli
  • Generous is, Grappa.
    It has a warmth
    at once secret and joyful.
    Gianna Mancini
  • ...and Grappa smelt
    a fatal floral scent.
    Grazia Deledda
  • Grappa
    is like a mule [...]
    you can cling to her
    if you are tired,
    shield yourself with her
    if someone shoots,
    sleep under her
    if it is too sunny;
    you can talk with her
    and she will answer;
    cry to be comforted;
    and if you really,
    decide to die,
    she will smile.
    Anonymous Captain of Alpini
  • Grappa
    of adamantine limpidity,
    dry, all spirit,
    with pure grace
    of authentic fragrant grape pomace.
    Riccardo Bacchelli
  • Deservedly
    it can be called Water of Life
    because [...] it preserves the life
    of those who drink it.
    Pietro Andrea Mattioli
    about Grappa in the
    "Commentarii Dioscoridis
    De Materia Medica", 1565.
  • Burning Water,
    or water of Immortality,
    Marvelous Essence
    or Golden Water,
    it comforts heart [...]
    for this reason it is worth
    being called
    water of life.
    Arnaldo da Villanova
    about Grappa from
    "Tractatus de Vino", 1500
  • Very limpid Grappa,
    bottled sun of ice,
    genuine and plain,
    without additional tastes,
    with no sweetnesses,
    perfect.
    Paolo Monelli
  • They also have Grappa,
    the colour of water.
    Cesare Pavese
  • Air, harsh of fog,
    to be sipped
    like Grappa,
    everything gives out a flavour.
    Cesare Pavese
  • Grappa, o
    "sole d'uva imbottigliato".
    Paolo Monelli
  • Twelve Grappas in half an hour
    make a bison collapse.
    Twelve Grappas in one day
    make the bison believe
    there are still prairies
    without hunters.
    Andrea G. Pinketts
  • Who produces Grappa
    is directly in communion
    with his own mother earth.
    Paolo Monelli
  • I want to stay here
    to drink a Grappa,
    if you have something to say
    we can talk as man to man.
    Kollaps
  • Double Grappa
    laced with coffee.
    Lino Toffolo
  • That time the old man
    invited the little boy at home
    and offered him
    the first glass of Grappa
    in his life.
    Ernest Hemingway
