List of products by brand Winestillery
To enhance the technique, creativity, and quality of Tuscan products and people, Winestillery was created, the first and only Vinstilleria in the world.
For those seeking a spirit that speaks of the region and features an artisanal approach, Winestillery offers an authentic offering: products designed to showcase the raw materials, a range from everyday bottles to collector's editions, and a focus on transparency and sustainability throughout the supply chain.
Winestillery is an Italian distillery that combines our country's winemaking tradition with the art of distillation, showcasing local grapes and wines to create distinctive eaux-de-vie and spirits.
Born from the encounter between winemakers and master distillers, Winestillery aims to express the region through complex aromas, balanced flavors, and artisanal care at every stage of production.
Philosophy and Territory
At the heart of the project is respect for the raw materials: the grapes come from select vineyards, often from small local producers with sustainable practices.
The production philosophy prioritizes origin and traceability, aiming to convey the varietal characteristics and geography of the area into the distillate.
Winestillery works closely with wineries and winemakers to select the most suitable fermentations for distillation and to recover pomace and wines not intended for sale as a base for fine spirits.
Production Method
The distillery combines traditional methods and modern technologies:
Selection of raw materials: grapes, pomace, and quality fermented wines.
Distillation: Use of column stills and small pot stills depending on the desired result. Careful trimming of the heads and tails is essential to ensure purity and aromatic complexity.
Aging: Some products are aged in Italian oak barrels or used wine barriques to integrate vanilla, spice, and tannic notes without overpowering the character of the original wine.
Quality Control: Sensory and chemical analyses throughout the supply chain to maintain consistent standards.
Main Products
Winestillery offers a range that may include:
Wine Brandy: A clear distillate with varietal aromas and flavors reminiscent of the ripe fruit and floral notes of the original wine. Ideal as an elegant digestif.
Selected Pomace Grappa: Made from carefully fermented pomace, it can range from young and fresh expressions to aged versions with a smooth and complex impact.
Aged Spirits: Bottles aged in wood that develop broader aromatic profiles (caramel, sweet tobacco, spices).
Limited Editions and Single Vineyards: Small batches that highlight the terroir of a single vineyard or variety.
Tasting Notes
Winestillery spirits are characterized by balance and aromatic clarity. On the nose, fruity aromas (apple, pear, dried fruit), floral notes, and, in the oak versions, vanilla or spicy tones emerge. On the palate, roundness dominates, with a persistence that depends on aging: younger versions are fresh and direct, while older versions display a warmer and more enveloping structure.
Visits, Tastings, and Education
The distillery is equipped to host guided tours and tastings: tours illustrating the production chain from vineyard to bottle, technical explanations of distillation, and guided tastings to compare different expressions. Winestillery also offers educational experiences for enthusiasts and professionals, basic distillation courses, and food pairing workshops.
Sustainability and Responsibility
Winestillery strives to reduce waste by valorizing wine byproducts, using energy efficiently, and favoring recyclable packaging. Direct collaboration with local producers helps maintain sustainable agricultural practices and reduce transportation footprint.
