Distillation and production

Production method

Production based on distillation in copper stills for classic grappas; for the Prime Uve line vacuum low-temperature distillation on whole grapes is used to preserve aromatic nuances. Some grappas are batch-distilled and barrel-aged versions undergo further maturation in wood.

Distillation

Copper stills; traditional batch distillation for typical grappas; vacuum low-temperature distillation for the Prime Uve line (grape distillates).

Ageing

Maturation in wood barrels/barrique for the Barrique versions and for some Prime Uve (e.g. Prime Uve Nere) — official documentation cites rests and maturations up to 24 months for some labels; non-aged versions have minimum rests indicated in the product sheets (e.g. minimum rest cited for the 903 Tipica).

Producer history Bonaventura Maschio

The Maschio family’s history in the art of distillation dates back to the late 19th century; the tradition developed between Cismon del Grappa and the wine-growing areas of Veneto, consolidating under the leadership of Bonaventura (born in 1903) and continuing through several generations to the present management in Gaiarine (TV). The company has progressively expanded its offer to include both traditional grappa and grape distillates (Prime Uve line) as well as a range of liqueurs and spirits inspired by local and historical traditions.

Production philosophy

A family approach that combines tradition and innovation: valorizING local raw materials (grapes and pomace), experimenting with distillation methods that preserve the original aroma and offering products that recall the connection with the territory and the historical roots of Italian drinking culture.

Territory

Headquarters and production facility in Gaiarine (province of Treviso), Veneto region. The company draws on the traditions of the territories between the banks of the Piave and the Monte Grappa area, with a strong link to local grapes and viticultural practices.

Awards and recognitions

Amaro Bonaventura (Erbe e Fiori / Erbe e Spezie) has received recognition at international competitions: medals reported in official product sheets include awards at the London Spirits Competition, ISW (International Spirits Award) and World Liqueur Awards, as well as mentions in the International Spirits Challenge.
