EVO Grappa Riserva and Brandy
EVO is a grappa (distilled grapes) that is legally defined as a “riserva” because it ages for more than 18 months in wooden barrels. The barrels used are various types of wood barrels and not necessarily from the first cycle.
Each type of wood individually helps give the product a specific feature. Based on the various vintages and the natural and unpredictable maturation of the product during aging, EVO can have slight differences in colour and aromas. This helps further celebrate the absolute authenticity and artisanship of the product. EVO does not contain any added dyes. Its “nuance” is the result of barrel aging. The methods to process the containers and the various types of woods used give this distillate unexpected organic substances and colorants. Thanks to the new processing techniques, EVO has a very limited amount of essential oils (“traces”) encouraging the drinkability and increasing their digestion and has a quantity of methyl alcohol that is at the lowest legal limit.

EVO FUMO - Grappa Riserva
The unique feature of FUMO is that it marries with the strong, smoky personality of peat (pomace is smoked prior to distillation) with the smoothness of cherry. FUMO is a blend and is the result of combining several spirits from different types of grapes and vintages. Each type individually helps give the product a specific feature. FUMO can differ slightly in colour and aroma from batch to batch and there could be slight sedimentation due to its originality. This helps further celebrate the absolute authenticity and artisanship of the product.
