The story
Fazi Battaglia is a winery from the Marche active since 1949 and best known for Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi; it manages extensive Verdicchio vineyards and has an established tradition in wine production and marketing. The commercial range also includes spirits under the Fazi/Fazi Battaglia label, presented as products derived from the pomace of the company's grapes.
Production philosophy
The company prioritizes vineyard selection and raw material quality, with attention to research and experimentation in the vineyard and cellar; product sheets emphasize care in preserving the typical aromas of the grapes used.
Territory
Marche, area of the Castelli di Jesi (province of Ancona); headquarters in Castelplanio (AN).
Production method
For the grappas marketed under the Fazi/Fazi Battaglia brand, technical descriptions online indicate the use of pomace from the company's grapes (e.g. Verdicchio) and distillation in a discontinuous pot still. Some product sheets also report a subsequent maturation in wooden casks for the aged labels.
Distillation
Distillation in a discontinuous pot still (batch still) according to the product sheets consulted; for some references distillation is carried out at a selected distillery (e.g. Distilleria Aquileia, according to industry sources).
Ageing
Product sheets indicate that some labels undergo aging in wooden casks; other versions are unaged (grappa bianca) depending on the reference.
