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 produced during distillation are offset through corresponding reforestation of the tropical rainforest in Costa Rica. For example, the heat for the distillation process is generated from plant-based fuels. Furthermore, the company participates in the “Impatto Zero” project and has acquired a conservation area of 340,000 square metres in the forests of Costa Rica.

Luigi Francoli Grappa Oro di Barolo Riserva is an exquisite grappa distilled from fresh pomace of the noble Nebbiolo grape. The pomace comes from some of Piedmont’s most renowned vineyard sites, including Barolo, La Morra, Serralunga d’Alba, Monforte d’Alba and Verduno, and is delivered to Francoli immediately after pressing. Following a brief resting period, the grappa is aged for five years in carefully selected Slovenian oak casks and Limousin oak barriques.

This grappa is limited to 1,000 bottles.
