Capovilla began a difficult training process, thanks in part to his numerous relationships abroad, where distillation was based on a more deeply rooted tradition and culture. The company has 4 hectares on three different plots for growing the raw material. Whatever doesn't grow well locally is sourced from more suitable soils, where untreated fruit grows in its natural environment. The purest water is strictly from nearby Monte Grappa. The untreated fruit features indigenous flora that is solely responsible for fermentation, without the aid of selected yeasts.
