Marzadro Distillery - Trentino Tradition

Trentino Tradition

Grappa, initially called “aqua vitae”, meaning “water of life”, has very old origins. The Trentino people have always embraced the art of distillation, first of all, because great wines yield optimum pomace, the raw material required for distillation and second, because Trentino mountain people have been dealing with copper and alembics for generations. In this region, Grappa is a symbol of the genuineness of the farmers’ culture, identifying with a population that is used to living in symbiosis with the seasons’ and the moon’s rhythms and that works in harmony with, and respects, the environment.

Marzadro contributes to recovering these cultural and territorial values of the Trentino region, which are represented in Grappa, a typical product that belongs to the ancestral history of these mountain people. One of the strongpoints of the Marzadro philosophy is to have succeeded in combining tradition with modern life style. As a matter of fact, while refining its distillation techniques throughout the years, the distillery preserved tradition as well. In fact, the pomace is, still to this day, distilled with the traditional method of discontinuous “bain marie” alembics.
