Mazzetti d’Altavilla is one of the most prestigious grappa producers in Italy.
Although the Mazzetti family is the second oldest grappa producer in Italy, it is the oldest company producing grappa in the Piedmont region, having been founded in 1846.
Mazzetti grappas are distilled from grapes grown only in the Piedmont region. They select only the finest Piedmont varietals like Nebbiolo, Barbera, Moscato and Arneis which they store in humidity controlled bins. The “vinaccia” are then distilled in traditional copper alembic stills which retain the characteristics of each individual grape variety. Today, the Mazzetti family continues to maintain a 150-year-old tradition of producing grappa of outstanding quality.
