THE GRAPPA
The Grappa di Timorasso Riserva from Antica Distilleria di Altavilla, a historic Piedmontese distillery specialized in single-varietal aged grappas, belongs to the prestigious Riserve line. Produced in Castagnole Monferrato by six generations of artisans, it is made from the freshest pomace distilled in steam stills, after a strict cut of heads and tails.

THE DISTILLERY
Started in 1846 by Filippo Mazzetti, the family distillation activity has been passed down from father to son through six generations. Every year, the Antica Distilleria di Altavilla receives the best pomace from Monferrato, which gives rise to many single-varietal grappas. Obtained from very fresh 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 in barriques of cherry, chestnut, almond, and French oak; until they achieve complete harmony of taste and aroma, while preserving floral and fruity notes. 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 their sons Fabrizio and Alessandro.
