Spirits Trophy 2024: Best of grape marc spirit
© Shutterstock
This year, Falstaff is once again dedicating itself to the finest spirits - the grape marc spirit, long disparaged as a by-product of wine production, has nothing to hide here, as this year's Falstaff Spirits Trophy impressively proves. In addition to outstanding grappa from Italy and Italian-speaking Switzerland, this year we are once again delighted to be able to present the best pomace brandies from regional distilleries in German-speaking countries. In this year's Spirits Trophy, discover the whole variety of marc with its different grape varieties and degrees of maturity.
