Distillation

For grappa the company uses vinaccia as raw material; it promotes its own Metodo Francoli (mentioned as an approach with double maturation for some references) and techniques oriented to sustainability and circular economy.

Ageing

Double maturation for some grappas (reported company method); references to controlled maturations are present, while specific technical details vary by individual label.
