Telling a story always has its charm, but when the story is over 100 years old the charm combines with Culture, Passion, and Innovation. These are the milestones of one of the more established realities in its sector: Bonollo Umberto’s Distilleries, an excellent example of a business that managed to stay alive for decades offering a beloved product, awarded and respected: the grappa (brandy).
Grappas are a cultural identity of our territory, distilled from the most superb grapes, selected from the best vineyards of Veneto where, for over 100 years, the Bonollo family has been dedicating merging experience and research to distillation to enhance at best the sensorial profile of grappas.
There's no doubt that the element that makes Bonollo a unique reality in the distillation market is the necessary expertise. Just as Bonollo’s Distilleries, Engel & Völkers Padova also believes that expertise is a determining factor because it is a synonym with "the ability to do" which, linked to experience, allows one to always satisfy the client.
But to excel, we always need to improve, because knowledge is not enough; we have to put in practice what we know!
During the ’90s, the fourth generation of the family entered the company, redefined and improved the „Sistema Unico Bonollo“ (SUB) [Bonollo's Unique System], that combines the experience of four generations with the best of technology: a system that represents a real business philosophy where all phases of the production process are based.
But what’s it about?
The Sistema Unico Bonollo aims to enhance the grape in every phase of the process: from the collection to the storage, through distillation, aging, packaging of the grappa, and, in the end, the enhancement of by-products in respect of the environment.
The excellence in knowing how to mix skills and know-how of the Sistema Unico Bonollo, reveals all its potentials since 1999 with the distillation of the OF Amarone Barrique Grappa: an innovative grappa, thought for the most demanding tasters that, in 2018, entered in the 100 Top Spirits in the world, according to the leaderboard by the American magazine: Wine Enthusiast.
Now we ask you to imagine yourself in your home, after a long day, lying on your sofa, or in your garden, in the patio with a table set and surrounded by your beloved ones. What’s better than a magic atmosphere where you can easily relax and taste the flavors of an exclusive OF Amarone Barrique Grappa?
OF Amarone Barrique Grappa: it's rich, vibrant, soft. It's the result of the distillation of grapes coming from the crushing of only dried grapes of Amarone from Valpolicella, bottled for the first time in 1999, when aged grappas weren’t known yet.
This grappa is a distillate born to be a "meditational" grappa: accompanies the connoisseur in a unique sensorial experience, in a surprising discovery of scents related not only to the distillation of the grapes but also the enrichment and complete aging of this grappa, that occurs in small Barrique of french oaks. Aging leads to vanilla and spice scents, and the softness that made this grappa famous.
Each bottle is a one-of-a-kind, treated with great attention: Every single decanter OF gets polished, sealed, and packed by hand. It’s a pure experience of passion and culture, a journey across our territory.
We, Engel & Völkers Padova, wanted to share with you a journey to the discovery of this beautiful company, an excellence of the Italian territory.
Being able to appreciate the hard work and the competence is very important to better "taste" -this is the perfect choice of verb in this case- your own home since it is pleasant to let yourself wrapped by its perfumes, appreciate it for its elegance...
You have to choose the right "nest" where to take your time ... as much as where to enjoy a sip of OF Amarone Barrique!
