Distillation and production

Distillation and production

Production method

Production is based on batches distilled from different types of vinacce (white and black) and from fruit eaux‑de‑vie; historically the use of copper stills and discontinuous (batch) distillation with low‑pressure steam is reported.

Distillation

Discontinuous (batch) method using historically copper stills and low‑pressure steam; company techniques and know‑how are cited as part of the production tradition.

Ageing

For some reserve expressions, ageing/maturation is practised in casks (barrique) and through specific finishes (e.g. Cognac cask) for vintage editions and reserves.

Producer history Domenis

The Domenis family began distilling at the end of the 19th century; the Storica brand was launched in the 1980s and over time the company has consolidated a range that includes single‑varietal and blended grappe, organic and kosher lines, as well as liqueurs, amari, gin and vermouth. In recent years the company re‑launched under the DOMENIS1898 identity and expanded its offering toward mixology products and lower‑alcohol lines.

Production philosophy

A union of tradition and innovation: valorising local grape varieties and the culture of Friulian grappa while experimenting with new products (liqueurs, gin, vermouth) and focusing on certifications such as organic and vegan lines.

Territory

Cividale del Friuli / area of Friuli‑Venezia Giulia, a winegrowing territory with numerous indigenous grape varieties.

Awards and recognitions

Professional recognitions and evaluations reported for various expressions (e.g. Storica Verde positively reviewed by trade publications; Storica Nera awarded in the packaging category at Vinitaly 2011 according to company communications).
