Distillation and production

Distillation and production

Production method

Small-scale production in discontinuous copper stills; for grappa steam distillation is used on charges of about 400 kg of pomace per boiler, with slow collection of the distillate (separation of heads, heart and tails). A vacuum water-bath still is also used for lower-temperature distillations to better preserve aromas. Distillates are stored in hermetic containers for stabilization.

Distillation

Steam distillation in small single-charge copper stills (discontinuous) with use of a vacuum water-bath still for reduced-temperature distillations; separation of heads, heart and tails with slow collection of the distillate.

Ageing

Some grappas are aged in barrique (barrique-matured grappas available in multiple types); other distillates are kept in hermetic containers for stabilization.

Producer history La Valdotaine

Founded in 1947 in Verrès for grappa production, La Valdôtaine moved in 1978 to its current facility in Saint-Marcel. Over time it expanded production to include genepì, amari, vermouth, alpine gin and grain-based distillates (including the Eyva farro vodka), maintaining traditional methods and small-scale artisanal production.

Production philosophy

Enhance the raw materials of the alpine territory (spring waters, local pomace, alpine herbs and botanicals) with small-batch production processes, respecting tradition and artisanal quality while privileging local origin of materials.

Territory

Aosta Valley (Saint-Marcel and lower-valley area), production inspired by alpine herbs and the 'Acqueverdi' spring water.
