The breakthrough moment for Candolini grappa came in the Italian Alps. The richly traditional company, founded in 1898, was commissioned to provide large volumes of grappa for the country's "Alpini," or alpine troops. The soldiers quickly came to love its gentle and refined taste and began sending bottles back to their families, spreading its fame. Even today, Grappa Candolini is distilled based on the same tried-and-tested recipe upon which its fame was built. Only the purest and best distillate from choice grapes from the Friaul and Veneto — carefully selected by the master distiller — are used for production. Incomparably soft, crystal clear and the finest character: Grappa Candoline is unmatched in its category and the perfect digestif for those who appreciate the very best.
