This product is obtained by the vapor distillation of our wine marc from Sangiovese grapes of our vineyard “Le Pergole Torte” in the Fattoria di Montevertine.

After the distillation procedure, “Caratelli” oak kegs are used for ageing over approximately four years, followed by the bottling.

Aqua Vitae is the result of a cooperation between the Distilleria Artigiana di Gioacchino Nannoni, which acts as the direct supervisor of all phases of distillation, ageing, and bottling, and the Azienda Agricola di Montevertine, the supplier of the raw materials.

We believe that the particular characteristics of this product (amber color, tender taste and scent) call for a different classification than the somehow limiting term “grappa”.
Tasting our Aqua Vitae brings more to mind other types of distillates, for instance Armagnac.
