Production Technique

Distillation system: a discontinuous physical process where the volatile component of the marc can be extracted. The marc, before it can be distilled, must be totally fermented and softly pressed. The distillate that is obtained has a 75 % alcohol content by volume.
Distillation period: March/April.
Aging time: the grappa is aged for 2 years in oak barriques.
Stabilization: before it is bottled it is chilled to 10° C, filtered and distilled water is added to bring the alcohol content down to the final value.
