"Pulp" or leftover wine production consisting of stems, seeds, skins and flesh. In the singular form, "Vinaccia". Used to prepare the Italian spirit or 'digestivo' Grappa. In Veneto used "vinacce" from the fermentation vessel from Amarone and/or Ricioto (which contains a portion of wine) to produce Valpolicella Ripasso. This pulp is called "vinacce fermantate".
Did you know?
That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
If you envision Sicily as an independent country, it would have the world’s seventh largest wine production, but despite the large quantities, the quality is high and steadily increasing. Today, Sicily has Italy’s third-largest wine production, and the island’s wine is Southern Italy’s most stable in terms of quality.
