More questions
Grappa Barbera by Luigi Francoli is a distillate that encapsulates the essence of Piedmont, a land of ancient traditions and prized vineyards. Obtained from Barbera pomace, one of the most representative grape varieties of the area, this grappa stands out for its bold personality and enveloping character. The distillation process, carried out with artisanal care, preserves the fruity and slightly spicy aromas typical of Barbera, delivering an intense and complex olfactory profile.
On the palate it presents itself harmoniously, with warm notes of ripe cherry and a delicate touch of vanilla that softens its structure. The finish is persistent, balanced between smoothness and freshness. Perfect both as a digestif after a rich meal and as an ingredient in refined cocktails, this grappa fully expresses the connection between grape variety, territory, and the distilling mastery typical of Luigi Francoli.

The story
The Francoli family's production has alpine roots, but the modern business consolidated when Luigi Francoli moved to Ghemme (NO) and established the company: sources indicate the family's involvement in distillation since the postwar period and the founding of the activity in Ghemme in 1951. The commercial line under the "Luigi Francoli" brand was launched later as a premium range dedicated to grappa.
Distillation
Steam distillation for the line, with use of both continuous columns for large-scale production and batch/boiling distillations in small alembics at group sites for special products.
Ageing
Wood ageing and cask-finish: some grappas are aged or complete maturation in ex-Barolo, ex-Port, ex-Bourbon or ex-Sherry barrels/barriques; Slavonia and Limousin oak casks are also used for specific expressions.
