Distilleries Francoli: sustainable production

We are in Piedmont, in the province of Novara, Ghemme: here are the distilleries Francoli. The autumn landscape with lots of mist that rises from the expanse of fields is the boundary to the guided tour of the distillery - our Cicerone is the wise President Alessandro Francoli – from where "flows" the grappa Francoli. Hermetically sealed bags and tubs filled with pomace, stills and steam, and finally vats and barrels, are the elements of a production site of one of the most traditional liqueurs in our country: the grappa. Inside the excellent grappa distilleries Francoli are produced excellent grappa, from different grape varieties, not limiting to the local Nebbiolo. As for the grappa “white grape varietal”, the company presents the Arneis, Chardonnay and Moscato grappa; the"red grape varietal "are produced with the pomace of Nebbiolo, Barbera and Brachetto. Finally, another variation may depend on the time of aging in barrels. Beyond the long tradition and wide array of "labels", the distillery Francoli emerge in the landscape of the production of grappa for its production philosophy to respect and preserve the environment and the people who live there. A sustainable production that does not follow the fashion of the moment, but that has been present for more than twenty years, following simple rules and small details such as the use of the pomace dried for to the water vapor necessary for distillation, as fuel for heating facilities of the company. Also, always following the philosophy of the company, with the grape seed it is produced special oil, which besides being edible, is also healthy and dietetic. The Francoli well as being a guarantee in the industry for its longstanding and distinguished presence, is a leading company in the hands of competent entrepreneurs. www.francoli.it
