Il Lebbio is the brand name of all the wines produced at the villa. I can't really handle grappa and am not really upset about that fact. Jeff really took a shine to it. Ick.
We were invited to eat with the family that owned the villa one night, at their home (another villa), and after dinner the grandpa busted out about 25 flavors of homemade grappa. They were all in different repurposed bottles and jars with the flavor written, in Italian, on masking tape stuck to each bottle. Since they didn't speak any English and we didn't speak any Italian, it took what seemed like hours to figure out what each flavor was. They were flavors like coffee, coffee with honey, pomegranate, juniper berry (think gin), orange, etc. Even after just small tastes, we were all pretty toasted by the end. It all tasted like flaming gasoline to me.
