THE ESSENCE OF OUR SPIRITS

RAW MATERIALS

The creation of our spirits is the result of a careful selection of the finest raw materials, favouring only botanicals and fruits of the highest quality.

In fact, our aim is to enhance and protect our Alpine territory: which is why our botanicals come from Valle d’Aosta, a short supply chain in synergy with the farmers and producers of our region.

POMACE

Our Distilleries use pomace from Valle d’Aosta exclusively, which is then distilled to give life to our grappas. At present, we distil most of the pomace from Valle d’Aosta, which is supplied to us by the winegrowers of the region. The rich wine-growing heritage of Valle d’Aosta provides us with a wide variety of grape varieties, allowing us to create grappas with rich and very different aromatic bouquets.

WINE

The wine is the real star of Brandy René de Challant. Two varieties are distilled to obtain this fine spirits: Chardonnay and Cornalin. The two wines were selected and contributed by Azienda Agricola Rosset Terroir.

génépy

Valle d’Aosta is one of the main places where this small plant is produced and used in the creation of a world-famous liqueur – the Génépy.

Also known by the appellation Artemisia umbelliformis, the female Génépy is used by our Distilleries for the creation of the liqueur of the same name, using only seedlings of Valdostan origin, cultivated on steep slopes and at high altitudes.

JUNIPER

for the creation of Gin Glacialis, we exclusively use wild juniper berries, which are picked by hand on the rugged slopes of Valle d’Aosta, in the shadow of Europe’s highest peaks.

raspberries

Our infusion spirits are created from these small red fruits, which we receive from Azienda Agricola Rosset Terroir. At an altitude of around 750 metres, in the heart of Valle d’Aosta, these raspberries are first cultivated and then harvested exclusively by hand in the summer to produce spirits with a unique flavour.
