Antica Distilleria Quaglia

CASTELNUOVO DON BOSCO | PIEDMONT - ITALY

The Castelnuovo don Bosco distillery was born in the years immediately following the unification of Italy on the sun-drenched hills between the Monferrato and the Turin hills which have always been considered lands of great wine tradition.

As far back as 1906 it was purchased by cav. Giuseppe Quaglia, who expands it, digs the well for water supply, installs a boiler for the production of steam.

In 1930 the company continued the business of his son Carlo who, under the wise guidance of his father, learned the secrets of distillation, perfected and modernized the bottling department, significantly increased production capacity and employed 35 employees.

In 1967 the third generation of distillers joined the company with his nephew Giuseppe who followed the family tradition. Still with the original stills, the production of classic grappa continues, alongside that of single-variety grappas, particularly refined and precious.

Today at the direction there is the young Charles great-grandson of the knight, who enthusiastically dedicates himself to the activity bringing new ideas and energies, enriching the range of products with liqueur specialties produced following the regulation of Piedmontese artisan excellence, which provides for the use of best raw materials of natural origin. This led to the creation of products such as the Pecetto cherry Ratafià, the Genepì, the Barolo Chinato and the Gianduia cream, particularly suitable for those who want to know and appreciate new and refined specialties.

In respect of tradition and authenticity, the activity of a company continues which, through the work of four generations, constantly updates and progresses to fully satisfy customers' requests by offering a product that embodies the finest quality.
