Direct steam distillation is similar to the second method but the steam is hotter and passed through the plant material at a higher pressure. This method is used for fresh plant material that has a high boiling point such as seeds, roots and wood. It is also used for fresh plant material such as peppermint and spearmint. The crop is cut and placed in a metal distilling tank on a truck. It is then taken to the distilling tank on the truck. Steam is forced through the fresh herbs and the oil droplets are carried by the steam through a vapor pipe at the top of the tank onto a cool condensing chamber.

Method of distillation
The fermented residue is transferred in a distillery straight after the emptying of the barrels and their relative pressing. The continuous distillation is then carried out by direct steam with the re-distillation of the alcoholic phlegm. Once the “Grappa” has been obtained, it is then placed in stainless steel vats for refining for a period of approximately 6 months.

Grappa Stravecchia

Grappa obtained from the distillation of a blend of marcs from veneto's selected grapes using direct steam process. During the long natural ageing slavonian oak selected barrels imbue this marvelous product with an unmistakable amber colour, a soft and very harmonious taste and a delicate and particularly pleasant bouquet.

steam distillation o direct steam distillation il senso non cambia
la caratteristica essenziale è che la distillazione avvenga in corrente di vapore, fase che si divide in due momenti: distillazione nella quale il materiale è immerso in acqua e distillazione nella quale il materiale è sospeso sopra alla fonte di vapore. Lo strumento per ottenere un distillato è l'alambicco. Il fermentato è inserito nella caldaia e viene dapprima riscaldato e poi distillato. Questi alambicchi possono essere di tipo a fuoco diretto, a bagnomaria ed a vapore. In quelli a fuoco diretto la caldaia è inserita in un fornello dove arde il fuoco vivo; in quella a bagnomaria vi è un'intercapedine tra il fuoco e la caldaia, tale intercapedine viene riempita di acqua. Nell'ultima, quella a vapore viene generato vapore e portato alla caldaia attraverso delle tubazioni. Questi alambicchi sono i più diffusi.

Quindi che sia espresso diretto o meno poco importa, l'essenziale è che si utilizzi il termine STEAM.

Auguri a Tutte e a Tutti :)
