In 1847, Bernardo Rossi founded his own distillery in Angera, on the Lombard shore of Lago Maggiore, following three basic tenets: to distil marcs that were fresh, full of moisture and from one single vine; to use a discontinuous steam-still; to age in small barrels made from differently toasted woods.

Ageing in wooden casks endows an elegance and a wholeness that ranks the grappa with the great spirits of the world.
In 1913, at the height of the Art Nouveau period, King Vittorio Emanuele III awarded the Rossi d’Angera Distillery the Royal House of Savoy Letter Patent, which put all the grappas in a class of their own.
With the new millennium, Rossi d’Angera starts off a process of restyling of all products and lines by a great designer and introduces a new “Luxury Line”, which consists of grappa strictly related to each production area to express the best type and personalities of different grapes.
