Distillation and production
Distillation and production
Production method
Production is based on infusions and distillation of alpine botanicals and on the use of local pomace for the grappa; for some references the process foresees maceration of botanicals followed by distillation.
Distillation
Distillation of botanical infusions for the liqueurs and distillation of pomace for the grappa (descriptions provided by the producer).
Producer history Ottoz
The Ottoz brand traces its roots to Laurent Ottoz: the brand's official narrative states that the story began with Laurent's activity in the early 20th century, when he started producing his génépy and marketing liqueurs tied to Aostan tradition. In 2005 the Ottoz family transferred the brand to Distillerie Saint Roch – Levi, which today produce and distribute the Ottoz line, preserving its historical legacy and promoting local raw materials.
Production philosophy
Ottoz's offer centers on the connection with the alpine territory: use of local botanicals, short supply chains and enhancement of Aosta Valley traditions, combining craftsmanship and modern technologies to produce mountain liqueurs and distillates.
Territory
Aosta Valley (Quart, province of Aosta)
