Italian Distilleries and Liqueur Factories
Mobile distillation
Until the 19th century, distillate production in Italy was mainly a local and artisanal activity. The practice of mobile distillation was widespread, with distillers using stills mounted on transportable carts.
Origins and development of Italian distilleries
Towards the mid-19th century, many distillers decided to stop mobile production and founded the first real distilleries. Often managed by families or small artisans, at this stage they were limited to producing Grappa and herbal liqueurs.
The great Italian distillation tradition
Despite the crisis in the artisanal world, from the 1980s onwards, the production of liqueurs and alcoholic beverages in Italy continues to grow, and distilleries begin to diversify their production.
