Distilleria Andrea Da Ponte SpA

The Andrea da Ponte distillery was founded in 1892 in the town of Conegliano in Veneto. Andrea's brother, Mateo, in particular, contributed his expertise in distillation, developing new, gentle distillation methods that subsequently influenced the development of distillation techniques throughout Italy. The distillery focused especially on the processing of Prosecco, and the method they developed is still in use today. Using the De Ponte method, top-quality grappas are still produced from Prosecco pomace. This grappa pomace is the same pomace used to make Prosecco Superiore DOCG.

Distilleria Andrea Da Ponte –
Grappa from the heart of Veneto

Since 1892, the Andrea Da Ponte distillery in Conegliano , one of the classic wine regions of Veneto, has been producing grappa using a method developed by the family itself. It was Mateo da Ponte, the founder's brother, who recognized early on that gentle distillation preserves the character of the raw material – thus establishing a method that became a model far beyond the distillery itself.

Prosecco remains the central focus: Grappas are produced from the pomace of Prosecco Superiore DOCG – the leftover grape residue from the region's finest vineyards – using the Da Ponte method. These grappas reflect the concentrated floral lightness of the Glera grape. They are not heavy, high-alcohol spirits, but rather a distilled image of the region: delicate, aromatic, and with a clear sense of origin.

Those who previously knew grappa as a rustic digestif will find a different approach here – one that puts craftsmanship and origin in the foreground.
