When my brother and I approached Dad with our idea, he abruptly said: “We’ve been distilling grappa for six generations. Leave my office, now!”
Thirty minutes later, he called us back in – today, he’s more into it than we are.
We invented the first Italian-style whisky at Villa de Varda. We’re experimenting with a method that will improve over time, similarly to the method used to make the grappa we’ve been distilling for centuries in Trentino and across Italy. Innovating is part of our tradition.
