The Francoli family distillery in Ghemme, Italy, has been in operation since 1875 and is one of the largest and best-known distilleries in Piedmont. It was the first grappa distillery to produce grappa without harming the environment and to ensure a carbon-neutral footprint. The carbon dioxide emissions generated during distillation are offset by a corresponding reforestation programme in the tropical rainforest of Costa Rica. For example, the heat for the distillation process is derived from plant-based fuels. Furthermore, the company participates in the ‘Impatto Zero’ project and has acquired a 340,000-square-metre conservation area in the forests of Costa Rica.

Luigi Francoli Grappa Rovere di Slavonia & Limousin is an exquisite blend of a Nebbiolo grappa aged for three years and Dolcetto and Moscato grappas aged for eight months. The grappa is first aged for 26 months in Slovenian oak casks, before being refined for a further eight months in Limousin barriques.

This meticulous ageing process lends the grappa a unique, complex array of aromas and a particularly refined structure that delights connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.
