Hauner

The company originated from the work of Carlo Hauner, an artist who moved to the Aeolian Islands in the 1960s. Through the recovery and restoration of abandoned terraces, Malvasia vineyards were established that led to the production of Malvasia delle Lipari (still and passito) and subsequently other labels. After Carlo Hauner's death in 1996, management continued within the family by the next generation.

Agricultural practice rooted in the territory and local techniques: restoration of terraces, cultivation of indigenous Aeolian grape varieties and attention to artisanal processes. The approach seeks to enhance the distinctiveness of Malvasia delle Lipari and products connected to the local context.

For the grappa, pomace from Malvasia (passito) is used. Distillation takes place in a small copper still (artisanal distillery). Technical sheets and commercial descriptions indicate traditional distillation methods in a discontinuous pot still and cold filtration (technical details available on distributors' product sheets).
