When they distill wine, they filter the distillation (which is mostly pure alcohol anyway) and what you have left is grappa.
There are two major schools for grappa: those who say it should be as cold as you can get it, and those who say it should be at room temperature. Chilling it (I've seen it served encased in ice - this stuff just won't freeze!) helps to mellow out the flavour, which can be seen as either a good or bad thing. Hence, the two schools.
