Collesi

The company was founded thanks to Giuseppe Collesi's initiative: the idea to start grappa production dates back to 1997, while the Apecchio distillery opened at the end of 2001. Initially focused on single-varietal grappas from local grapes, production later expanded to include gin, vodka, brandy, liqueurs and even craft-brewing activities linked to the water and agricultural resources of the family estates.

Quality of local raw materials, respect for the territory and the combination of tradition and innovation: Collesi focuses on selecting inputs (grape pomace and local agricultural products), artisanal care in processes and the development of new expressions of distillates while maintaining a strong territorial identity.
