Mazzetti d'Altavilla Grappa di Barbera

Grapes of ancient origin which were considered valuable as early as the thirteenth century. This grappa, which has a great personality, rests in oak barrels from two to five years until it has modified its original sensory profile. In 2001 it won the only gold medal in Bordeaux assigned to a grappa.
Mazzetti d'Altavilla is a historic grappa factory of Piedmont which, since 1846, has distilled only grape marc produced in this land, coming from the noblest grapes of Piedmont, including Barolo and Barbaresco. The close link with its land is one of the core values of the company's philosophy.

Mazzetti d'Altavilla, now in its seventh generation, is situated in the small village of Altavilla Monferrato (in the province of Alessandria) in the heart of Piedmont's hills. The production is carried out from the main product, that is grappa, in its different variants: ‘young’ grappa, ‘aged’ grappa, and Reserve. Altogether, fifteen vineyards of Piedmont are distilled separately in order to create the single varietal grappa.
