Sustainability

Since 1983 the production of Andrea da Ponte has been powered by renewable energies: Production of own biogas for the burners, solar system for electricity production with 110 kWp, heat recovery, waste water and smoke purification. In this way the Andrea da Ponte distillery has reduced CO2 emissions by 70 tons per year.

Tradition since 1892

1892 the experienced master distiller Andrea Da Ponte founds the company in Conegliano; in 1896, only four years later, Matteo Da Ponte perfects the rules of the art of distillation and, together with the publisher Francesco Cagnani, publishes the famous "Manual of Distillation", the first real textbook on the subject, which is republished in four further editions (1901, 1909, 1922 and 1931) by Hoepli Milan. The exclusive "Metodo Da Ponte", which is also described in this book with unique drawings of the stills designed by the author, is immediately recognized as innovative and extremely modern; it sets a precedent and ensures that Grappa Da Ponte is known and appreciated for its unprecedented exquisite fragrance, aroma and smoothness.

Terroir

Only selected, fresh and just cut marc from the hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, and thus from the area protected by the controlled and guaranteed designation of origin, is used.

Typicity

One of the cornerstones of Andrea Da Ponte's philosophy is to preserve the natural and characteristic aroma of the varieties by starting the distillation at harvest time.

Distillation

For generations, Distilleria Andrea Da Ponte has used the patented Andrea Da Ponte flask system, which has been modernised and brought up to date through the use of a vacuum process and technologically advanced flavouring processes.

Analytical controls

Pre- and post-run are removed by the master distillers by means of sensory controls. In order to guarantee and maintain a constant quality standard with a low level of impurities, use is made of ultramodern equipment, continuous and careful controls and verification of the aromatic composition of the distillates.

Maturation

The selection of grappa productions suitable for natural ageing in French Limousin oak barrels is carried out according to the strictest criteria. Aging is then carried out over long periods of time (from 4 to 50 years) until a soft product with the right harmony and extremely pure aromatic notes is obtained, giving preference to characteristics such as mildness and elegance.
