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”.

The still dripping with must, the freshly-pressed skins, stems and seeds of grapes grown on DOC and DOCG vineyards in Neive, Barbaresco, Trezzo, Treiso and Alba are blended following an old Serafino Levi recipe, and immediately compressed into underground pits for a natural curing process that is able to extract all the aromas and flavours of the grapes.
