Ab Selezione

The AB Selezione project stems from Antonella Bocchino's family experience: her great-grandfather produced a Moscato Grappa at the end of the 19th century and Antonella launched her personal project in 2014. The first official presentation took place on 29 September 2014 at the Distilleria Beccaris in Costigliole d’Asti; earlier (1986) Antonella had already worked on a line of grappas from ancient Piedmontese grape varieties. AB Selezione has developed as a selection and maturation project for products coming from several Italian distilleries, with particular attention to the territorial expressions of Moscato.

Rigorous selection of raw materials (quality pomace and single-variety pomace), respect for the character of grape varieties and the territory, controlled ageing in oak casks to emphasise elegance and complexity of the spirits; the project aims to tell the story of Italy through Moscato grappas from different regions and to recover traditional Piedmontese liqueurs.

Italy (operational base and ageing in Piedmont, particularly in the Langa and Monferrato areas; products coming from regions such as Piedmont, Aosta Valley, Lombardy, Sicily, Sardinia, Pantelleria).
