Capovilla

The story of distiller Vittorio Capovilla begins in 1974. In those years he worked for a winemaking machinery company and traveled for work between Switzerland, Austria and Germany. When the desire to understand how distillates could be made better was born in him, he bought his first alembic in Austria and "stolen" it through customs, transporting it in pieces on several trips. His first distillation was of merlot and cabernet pomace. It was the year 1975, when he produced his first grappa. Trying to eliminate the defects, he immediately produced a perfect distillate. A perfection that still begins today with the search for the raw material and which makes him considered one of the best distillers in the world.
