Distillation and production

Distillation and production

Production method

The range includes expressions made from roasted and distilled almonds (maceration/distillation of the almond), natural infusions (e.g. coffee, cocoa, cinnamon) and, for some limited editions, subsequent finishing in ex-bourbon, ex-rum or ex-grappa casks.

Distillation

Distillation/maceration of roasted almonds; use of natural infusions for aromatic notes; some expressions undergo an additional cask finishing phase after production.

Ageing

For limited editions, finishing in casks (ex-bourbon, ex-rum, ex-grappa); maturation periods vary (for example 8 months for some ex-bourbon/rum editions, 24 months reported for an edition in Bonollo grappa casks).

Producer history Adriatico

The Adriatico label was launched by the partners of Bellaventura (Jean‑Robert Bellanger and Thomas Benoit) in 2019. From the start the brand has focused on valorizing Italian ingredients — in particular almonds from Puglia — and on regular releases of limited editions finished in various types of casks in collaboration with international partners.

Production philosophy

Emphasis on territorial quality and naturalness: use of natural Italian ingredients (Puglian almonds), recipes with reduced sugar compared to traditional amaretti, and variants designed both for neat consumption and for cocktail mixing.

Territory

Produced in Puglia (Italy); concept and brand ownership linked to Bellaventura S.A.

Awards and recognitions

Medals and recognitions in international competitions (e.g. IWSC Spirit Gold 2020 for some expressions; SIP Awards 2020 results with recognitions for the Bianco and Roasted expressions).
