Romano Levi (1928-2008) , the “angelic grappa maker” as Luigi Veronelli used to call him, was just 17 years of age when he took over the running of the distillery founded by his father Serafino in1925. Using the same distillery equipment, and the same hand-crafted productions process, he went on to become the most famous “grappaiolo” in the world, not only for his grappa, but also hid hand-drawn labels. Countless publications and exhibitions in Italy and abroad have been dedicated to his main subject: the “Wild Woman”.
Moscato grappa is crafted using an ancient discontinuous still with direct fire and submerged pomace—one of the few remaining in the world still in operation for grappa distillation.

It ensures the full preservation of the aromatic components that are essential to the grappa’s distinctive sensory profile.
