Italian after-dinner spirit (6)

I believe the answer is:

grappa

(Other definitions for grappa that I've seen before include "Spirit distilled from grapes" , "Italian spirit made from grape residue after pressing" , "Form of brandy" , "Italian liqueur made from residue of grapes after pressing" , "Spirit distilled from fermented grape remains" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
