Berta Distillery Picture: Barrels of "pomace" or "vinacce" - the skins and seeds left from the grape pressing for wine.

James Martin
Grappa made from the vinacce of white grapes must undergo an additional fermentation step, since white wines are fermented away from the skins and seeds. Here you see the vinacce outside, fermenting away in special 225 liter food-grade plastic containers waiting to be made into Grappa.
