Artisan stills
The flowing steam still
This still dates back to around the mid-19th century and is certainly the most widely used today for making Grappa in an artisan way.
The bain-marie or double bolier still
As the name implies, this still uses the very old bain-marie or double boiler method, taking its name from the invention attributed to the alchemist Maria Giudea, traditionally identified with Myriam, the sister of Moses.
The direct-fire still
This traditional and almost disappeared still consists of a copper pot of medium or small capacity with a mouth for adding the marc and a capital at the top.
