Ceshia is the oldest distillery in Friuli, with roots dating back to 1886 when Giacomo Ceschia began distilling around the farms of the winemakers in Nimis.
Don Giacomo fermented the pomace by placing it in barrels covered with grape leaves, earth, and ash. The barrels were sealed for at least three weeks before distillation, during which the winemakers awaited Giacomo Ceschia’s return to distill the contents of their barrels.
Ceschia still uses the same production techniques that characterize true craftsmanship for which Ceschia is renowned. Nemas Grappa Friulana is named after the old town of Nimis and is an exquisite distillate of various pomace from this area. Before bottling, the grappa is aged for at least two years in steel barrels, which gives it its perfected round flavor.
Grappa Nemas Friulana can be enjoyed as an elegant, soft, and delicate finish to a good dinner or as “the little extra“ with a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
