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.
