Italian Grappa did well in the pandemic period. According to Istat data relating to 2020, AssoDistil reports that there was a 13% increase in exports. Over 83% of Italian distilleries produce Grappa, an Ig which in 2020 accounted for 69,000 heptanidros, a slight decrease of 4% compared to 2019.
“Despite the pandemic,” writes the association that brings together over 62 industrial distilleries (equal to 95% of the national production of brandy and ethyl alcohol from farming raw materials) “Europe says yes to Grappa, confirming once again the largest importer of Made in Italy excellence with Germany as leader.”
