One of the signature features of Italy’s famous la dolce vita includes lingering over the table after the plates are cleared, and grappa, the country’s signature grape spirit, has long been a part of the experience.
Aaron Wood-Snyderman, wine and beverage director at Four Seasons Resort Maui, which includes Italian-inspired Ferraro’s Restaurant & Bar, says that after a large meal, his Italian grandfather would sip on grappa-spiked coffee, so now, he associates the drink with socializing the way his grandpa did.
