Which is the difference between “grappa” and “grape brandy”?

Grappa is obtained by distilling the grape-pomace (skins and seeds of the grapes), while Grape Brandy is obtained by distilling fermented grapes, therefore the solid and liquid part of the grape together. As a result, the Grape Brandy is placed halfway between a Grappa (obtained by distilling a solid raw material like grape pomace) and a Wine Brandy (obtained by distilling a liquid raw material like wine), being distilled from both the solid and the liquid part. A Grape Brandy is normally more elegant and fruitier than a Grappa, which vice versa is generally more intense and structured.
