Producer history Villa de Varda
Villa de Varda is a historic Trentino reality: the Dolzan family has practiced the art of distillation for several generations (the company website indicates the continuation of the family tradition up to the sixth generation). The activity has local roots in the Piana Rotaliana and today combines a heritage of traditions with modern production technologies.
Production philosophy
The company declares a strong focus on the quality of raw materials, respect for the territory and careful management of production stages: selection of pomace, distillation and ageing are handled according to a proprietary, continuously evolving method called “de Varda”.
Territory
Piana Rotaliana, Mezzolombardo (Province of Trento), Trentino (Italy). Production is linked to local grape varieties and winemaking traditions of the Dolomites and the valley.
