| | Uva is very similar to grappa but is made from whole grapes and is considered an immature grape brandy. | | | Grappa is the legal Italian name given to the distilled spirits obtained through the distillation of the pomace of pressed grapes (skins, seeds, and a small quantity of pulp, must, and wine). | | | The basic difference is that Grappa is obtained by distilling the pomace with boiling water and the extraction of alcohol present in it through a flow of hot steam. |
