THE GRAPPA
The Grappa Riserva 'I Quattro Lustri' from Antica Distilleria di Altavilla, a historic distillery in Piedmont specialized in the production of long-aged single-varietal grappas, is part of the 'Special Reserves' line. It is produced in Castagnole Monferrato, in the province of Asti, by artisanal producers for six generations. Obtained from the freshest pomace of a selection of the best Piedmontese grape varieties and distilled with steam stills, after a careful and meticulous selection of heads and tails, the grappa is aged for 20 years in fine small barrels of French oak, chestnut, and ash. Enveloping, broad, and complex: a rich concerto of vanilla, spicy, and cocoa tones. An aftertaste of exceptional persistence. Excellent.
THE DISTILLERY
Started in 1846 by Filippo Mazzetti, the family distillation activity has been passed down from father to son to this day through six generations. Every year, in fact, the Antica Distilleria di Altavilla receives the best pomace from Monferrato, which gives rise to equally fine single-varietal grappas. Obtained from the freshest pomace and distilled with steam stills, after careful and meticulous selection of heads and tails, the grappas are aged for several years in fine oak barrels and in barriques of cherry, chestnut, almond, and French oak, until they achieve a complete harmony of taste and aroma, while preserving the floral and fruity notes. They are the result of a production process passed down with passion and knowledge to the current owner, Filippo Mazzetti, along with his wife Laura and their children Fabrizio and Alessandro.
