Produced in Castagnole Monferrato by six generations of artisans, it comes from fresh pomace of the best Piedmontese grapes, steam-distilled with strict head and tail cut. It is aged for 15 years in small French oak, chestnut, and ash barrels, giving depth and complexity. Smooth and enveloping, with elegant notes of wild berries and remarkable aromatic persistence, it is perfect as a meditation grappa or paired with dark chocolate and aged cheeses.

THE GRAPPA
The Grappa Riserva “Sinfonia d’Autunno” from Antica Distilleria di Altavilla, a historic Piedmontese distillery specialized in single-varietal aged grappas, belongs to the “Riserve Speciali” line.

THE DISTILLERY

Started in 1846 by Filippo Mazzetti, the family's distilling activity has been passed down from father to son to this day through six generations. Each year, in the Antica Distilleria di Altavilla, the best pomace from Monferrato converges to create single-variety grappas. Obtained from the freshest pomace and distilled with steam stills, after a careful and meticulous removal of heads and tails, the grappas are stored for several years in fine oak barrels and cherry, chestnut, almond, and French oak barriques until they achieve complete harmony of taste and aroma, while keeping the floral and fruity notes intact. They are the result of a production process passed down with passion and wisdom to the current owner, Filippo Mazzetti, along with his wife Laura and sons Fabrizio and Alessandro.
