Sgrappa: Maurizio Cattelan's Grappa — An Artistic and Distilled Interpretation

Sgrappa, the grappa conceived by artist Maurizio Cattelan, represents a unique blend of contemporary art and Italian distilling tradition.

This original creation aims to transcend the conventional confines of a traditional distillate, transforming itself into a work of art that invites reflection and tasting with sensitivity and curiosity.

The Encounter of Art and Distillation

Sgrappa is a quality distillate artisanally produced in Piedmont from pomace steam-processed in copper pot stills, expressing notes of fruit and white flowers.

Not just any grappa, due to its unusual ability to be mixed.

Sgrappa can be enjoyed neat or used as a base for imaginative drinks.

"In the name of the father, the finger, and the spirit," reads the slogan.

We couldn't expect anything less irreverent from Maurizio Cattelan, recently turned 60, the world's most famous Italian artist who continues to push the boundaries between art, advertising, irony, and marketing.

Neat or Mixed? Unconventional in its ability to be mixed, Sgrappa can be enjoyed neat, but reaches its peak expression in long drinks or the most sophisticated cocktails.

Sgrappa's Signature Cocktails recall some of the most recognized recipes in the world of mixology, created exclusively with just a few drops of grappa—or rather, one.

The iconic artistic gesture inside the bottle is a sign (and a medium one) of its irreverent nature: it adds an ironic sense of appreciation to the good taste of grappa.

According to Maurizio Cattelan, it's the perfect gift to give, and perhaps the one you'd never want to receive.

Maurizio Cattelan, known for his provocative and original works of art, has decided to reinterpret the classic Italian grappa with particular attention to aesthetic and conceptual detail.

Sgrappa is not just an alcoholic beverage, but also a clear example of how art can meet the world of spirits, creating a product that challenges perceptions and stimulates reflection.

A Collectible Work

Sgrappa is aimed not only at enthusiasts of high-quality spirits, but also at collectors and lovers of contemporary art.

It is a creation that can be considered a collector's piece, a symbol of how art can also influence the world of beverages, leading to new forms of expression and sensory experience.

Ideal for enjoying on its own, like a true piece of liquid art, Sgrappa also lends itself to moments of introspection and stimulating conversations.

It can be paired with aged cheeses, dark chocolate, or spicy desserts, enhancing its interesting and multidimensional character.

Maurizio Cattelan's Sgrappa is much more than just a grappa: it is a symbol of creativity, provocation, and innovation.

A product that combines the heritage of Italian tradition with the language of contemporary art, becoming a true object of culture and pleasure.

Tasting Notes:

This grappa is distinguished by an intense and enveloping character, with aromas that recall Italian tradition but revisited through an artistic lens.

On the palate, Sgrappa is smooth, with complex notes of grape, light spices, and a lingering aftertaste.

Its visual and sensorial presentation underscores the innovative and provocative aspect of Cattelan's interpretation.
