HOME COMPANY PRODUCTS PRESS CONTACTS Here there is water that continues to change. Here comes the smoke. Here is what you want to instill THIS IS HOW WE WORK How the company operates Our distillery mainly processes aromatic pomace, which begins the transformation season towards the end of August. The innovation of our processing consists in the fast ensiling of the marc, which takes place within three / four hours of soft pressing. This leaves a higher degree of humidity thus allowing the extraction of more intense aromas. In the morning the trucks leave the cellars and in less than an hour they arrive at the distillery, where we immediately ensile the marc in large casings with a diameter of 2.5 meters and a length of about 70 meters. The ensiling takes place through a special machine that presses the marc in a closed environment, where the oxygen, with the fermentation of the marc, is transformed into carbon dioxide which preserves the product by preserving it from secondary fermentations. The pomace closed in the plastic casing can last months without changing flavors and aromas, but rather enriching themselves. At the right moment, they are passed to the alcohol remover which, with a continuous and rotating movement by means of several augers, makes the pomace lick by low pressure steam which removes aromas and flavors giving the best of quality. From this process we obtain a product called "phlegm", around 20-25 alcoholic degrees. At this point the second distillation begins: the phlegm is redistilled in the stills obtaining the head, heart and tails of the grappa. The heads and tails are set aside, while the heart - the best part of the grappa - is sent to the deposit. Finally, the third distillation process starts, in which the heads and tails are placed in a continuous system complete with 4 columns of which the first is the distiller, the second removes the methyl (harmful to health), the third eliminates the oils (responsible for the poor digestion of the product) and the last one - the rectification column - allows to separate the valuable volatile substances from the vile ones.
