Typical blend from the local hills. Amber in colour, the wine goes through about 15 days maceration on skins, with spontaneous fermentation in concrete tank. Depending on the vintage, the must is bottled just before spring to let the second fermentation happen. When no sugar is left, some fresh must is added prior bottling. The wine is unfiltered and unfined with little SO2 added at the final stage. Powerful aromatic strength, with good amount of tannins and length but also well supported great freshness

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

At the age of 27, Claudio Campaner left Milan and the ‘city life’ to move to the small village of Bacedasco Alto, in Piacenza province, on the border with the neighbouring province of Parma.  Claudio’s goal was to grow grapes, make wine, but also to distil, hence the name Distina, a portmanteau of ’Dis-tilleria’ and ‘Can-tina’ (cellar in Italian).

At Distina, the principles of organic farming and sustainability has been followed from the very beginning. The vines are strictly local, traditional varieties: Bonarda, Barbera, Moscato Bianco, Marsanne, Ortrugo and Malvasia di Candia Aromatica. The grappa and spirits Claudi produces don’t have that nasty, aggressive bite you often encounter; they are elegant and soft, reflecting the pure spirit of the fruit used to make them.
