At the foot of the hill, at the top of quality.
Started in 1846 by Filippo Mazzetti, the distilling business has been handed down from father to son until today through seven generations.
In fact, every year the best pomace from Monferrato and Tortona flow into the Altavilla Distillery, including that from Timorasso, which gives rise to as many single-variety grappas.
Obtained from very fresh pomace and distilled with steam stills after a careful and scrupulous discarding of heads and tails, the grappas are aged for several years in fine oak barrels and in cherry, chestnut and almond barriques; until a complete harmony of taste and aroma is achieved, keeping the floral and fruity notes intact.
the Grappa Museum collects and displays in the historic tuff and brick rooms the evidence of an activity, the distillation one, closely linked to the territory, which has been carried out by the same family for seven generations.
