Food & Wine - visit the producers: Nus, Quart, Roisan, Saint-Christophe

At the end of the 1800’s the Levi family founded a distillery in Aosta, in the town of Sant’Orso, that produces the unique Grappa di Saint’Orso. Years passed and, in 1968, Natalina Levi created the Saint-Roch distillery together with her husband. The business, which is now bigger, has moved to Quart, at the outskirts of Aosta, and creates traditional spirits and liqueurs. The ingredients are few, but necessary: love for the territory and passion for their work.
