Mazzetti d’Altavilla, Distillers since 1846, is the most historic grappa producing company of the North-West and one of the oldest in Italy. Founded even before the Unification of Italy, in the heart of Monferrato, Mazzetti d’Altavilla distills fresh grape pomace every year from the noblest vineyards of Piedmont, becoming an expression of a territory and of 0-mileage Grappa.
The oldest Distillery in the North West.
The company was established with Filippo Mazzetti, when he founded his first distillery for the production of Grappa in Montemagno. At the time, grape pomace, which produces the grappa through distillation, was primarily considered leftover material from the wine production process: neglect and lack of preparation of many winemakers meant that it was not often preserved and selected in the best possible way, as it occurs today to be perfectly distilled. It was considered waste material, but Filippo Mazzetti and then his son decided to transform it into a new distillate: grappa.

Here, it is also possible to visit the photography exhibition “Il Monferrato nello Spirito”, the Historic Park and the Votive Chapel “La Rotonda”, a magnificent architectural gem dating to 1808, restored by the same Mazzetti Family.
