Artistry, energy and ingenuity abound in Alexander Grappas from entrepreneur Sandro Bottega and his family. From the Bottega family facilities near Venice in northeast Italy’s Veneto region -- the birthplace of grappa -- Alexander Grappas come in a series of sensational hand-blown bottles, each designed by Sandro Bottega and made by local master craftsmen at the family’s glass production site. In addition to grappa and glassware, this energetic family’s ventures include production of wines and sparkling wines, wine accessories, mineral water, olive oil and organic food.
Alexander Grappas are double distilled to a delicate 40º proof and made according to the most exacting standards. The result is a line of elegant, soft, smooth grappas of utmost quality and purity.
