Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Romano Levi Grappa Donna Selvatica Innamorata del Moscato is a Langhe spirit crafted from Moscato grape pomace, offering a harmonious profile at 40% ABV. The grappa displays a bright straw-yellow colour resulting from careful wood maturation. The bouquet is clean and balanced, blending fresh fruit notes with measured woody nuances. On the palate, it is smooth, delicate, and enveloping, finishing with persistent fruity and floral echoes that highlight its structure.
Where does it come from?
Originating in the Langhe in Piedmont, this grappa benefits from a region yielding premium Moscato pomace. The local terroir shapes an aromatic profile defined by fruit-driven freshness and floral tones. During the resting phase, barrique maturation introduces measured boisé accents that complement the vibrant fruit. Ageing occurs in dedicated cellars with monitored humidity and a constant temperature between 14 and 19 °C. This controlled environment ensures a stable development, resulting in a focused expression where the authentic raw material remains vividly recognisable.
How is it produced?
Production uses a discontinuous direct-fire method with submerged pomace to extract the precise aromatic components of the Moscato. Vapours are condensed and purified via fractional distillation in a seven-plate copper column, yielding an exceptionally clean distillate. The spirit then matures in 220-litre barriques crafted from various woods. Managed under strict environmental controls, this maturation integrates subtle woody notes with the innate fresh-fruit and floral character, delivering a soft and balanced finish.

"… in those days there were so many of them … usually distilleries operated with direct-fire stills. A Malba device, because I always heard the name Malba being mentioned, then I saw that at the Bocchino distillery, which has a room with the stills in sight, there was Malba Giovanni Ricostruzioni Meccaniche Asti or Malba Fratelli (Malba Brothers) or something like that, and ours should be a Malba appliance... for me, who now I think I can say I know it quite well if not very well, because I've been distilling for 46 years, it's a device that goes very well, it's a little gem, a toy, that if you give it what you want, what you need, if you don't push it, if you adapt to it, it works wonders...
… I think that this Giovanni Malba was a distiller because they made this device very well; as well as designing it, if they designed it, they have made it very well".
The Levi house-distillery is now a living, Grappa production museum, a real time capsule, where the Genius Loci of Romano Levi, hovers everywhere in art, in the method and time of work, in the simple and basic objects, scents and serenity. The distillery is always open to everyone, it’s a bit more difficult is to find some bottles ready for sale, as the very low production capacity cannot meet the demand that comes from all over the world, but connoisseurs are aware of this, they enjoy the serenity of the place, don’t get angry and wait or patiently try again.
