Italian eau de vie made from winepress residue (6)

I believe the answer is:

grappa

(Other definitions for grappa that I've seen before include "Italian drink" , "Italian liqueur made from residue of grapes after pressing" , "Type of brandy" , "hard stuff" , "Spirit distilled from grapes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
