Saint-Roch Distillery
The story of the most famous grappa in the Valle d'Aosta is interwined with that of the Levi family. At the end of the 1900s Guglielmo and Angelo Levi, descendants of a lineage of famous grapats of Campodolcino, founded a distillery with the same name in Aosta, the oldest in the Valley. But who were the grapat? These humble but skilled craftsmen were specialists of distillation who, in winter, came down from the mountains to select the best pomace. Their work was complicated and laborious: it entailed going from village to village to carefully select the vineyard, look over the land and its exposure, check the vines, and test the color, aroma and quality of the grapes. Only an excellent grape could produce a valuable pomace and hence a valuable grappa, with an intense and decisive aroma.
Once settled in Aosta, Guglielmo produced a unique grappa: the grappa Sant'Orso. Sant'Orso like the most celebrared saint of the region, but also as the name of the ancient village in the center of Aosta, where his distillery stood.
Years go by and in 1968, Natalina Levi, Guglielmo's youngest daughter, together with her husband, established the Saint-Roch Distilleries. The company, no enlarged, moved to Quart, on the outskirts of Aosta: the medieval walls of the old distillery give way to modernity and technology, which continue to give borth to the traditional flavors of Valle d'Aosta liquers.
A decades-long story, hundreds of products for all tastes, with on single but important "fil rouge": tradition and quality.
