What does “discontinuous distillation” mean?

It means that at the end of each "batch", or distillation cycle, the distilled grape-pomace is unloaded from the cauldrons and replaced with other fresh grape-pomace ready to be distilled. Therefore, between each cycle of distillation, it is necessary to stop the process to allow loading and unloading. The "discontinuous" method represents the historic and artisan system to produce Grappa and is not to be confused with the industrial "continuous" method.
