If you love two things at the same time, why not combine them?
Italian Grape Ale is the perfect marriage of two great things - grape and beer, and Italian brewers are the masterminds behind this amazing beer style.
Wine and grapes have been such an intrinsic part of Italian culture that the appreciation of these gifts from god has become second nature for Italian brewers. To say Italy is a grand vineyard is not an exaggeration, it is a country with 545 wine grape varietals and a wine history dating back to more than 4000 years ago. With practically a vineyard in their backyards to play with everyday, Italian brewers have access to a vast knowledge of the many grape varieties and the nuances from different terroirs. Their mastery in creating such an amazing beer style has prompted the Beer Judge Certification Program to include Italian Grape Ale in their BJCP Style Guidelines as a brand-new category under Appendix B - Local Styles!
Ca' Del Brado is among the best Italian craft breweries to excel in this unique beer style. Take their IGA, Û ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฎ as an example, it is spontaneously fermented with Grechetto Gentile - a kind of white grape from Gradizzolo, a biodynamic winemaker. It is a “skin contact” beer barrel-aged for 6 months with Brettanomyces Lambicus.
Many biodynamic winemakers believed all the great flavors come from grape skin. The process of macerating grape skin during fermentation not only adds flavors and tannins to the beer, the wild yeast from the grape skin further ferments the remaining sugar and makes the beer dry as a brut white wine! The unique vinegary acidity comes from Brettanomyces Lambicus, along with a hint of oaky, woody aroma from the barrel, Û ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฎ combines the best of both worlds - the worlds of grape and beer!
There are only a few bottles of Û ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฎ left at Brewcraft, grab it before it’s too late!
