Two great masters of life and of distilling: our mother, who taught us
respect and patience, and our father, who instilled in us a taste for
giving our very best today while knowing that tomorrow we can do even better.
The rule is simple: proper distillation means respect for those who came before
us, as well as will to innovate, gratitude towards tradition and the ambition
to continue improving.
It all started from an idea of our father, Vincenzo, who in 1956 decided to
open a distillery in Faver, in the heart of Valle di Cembra, also known as
the valley of (more or less acknowledged) Distillers. It was not easy, but his
strong will and dedication bore their fruits, namely excellent grappas and
elegant eaux-de-vie. In 1983, the new generation, i.e. Bruno, boosted innovation
with revolutionary courage both in the distillery and in the range of grappas.
Later on, he was joined by Ivano who brought a new wave of enthusiasm that
resulted in the opening of the new distillery in Portegnac, just outside Faver,
in 2001. This peaceful place jealously hides a part of the history of Valle
di Cembra, renowned for being an ancient haven of water and of spirit.
