Romano Levi, Grappa di Camomilla

About Romano Levi

A real Levi had between 50 and 60 percent alcohol by volume and some, therefore, call it 'pure medicine'. But the really exclusive feature was and is the label. At some point, Romano Levi had started to describe and paint his bottles himself (for reasons of cost) and that on paper, which he had just fallen into his fingers. Each label was torn out by hand and the boss himself celebrated the design and sticking. This ceremony made each bottle of Grappa di Levi unique and thousands of Levi fans made the annual pilgrimage to Piedmont, where the eccentric distiller lived and worked. On countless of the self-painted labels, he immortalized flowers, trees, women's bodies, and faces, stars. The torn off unique pieces of paper let whole collector's swarms get into the raptures all over the world. A real Levi label can cost collectors more money than the contents of the bottle. The old distillery of Romano Levi was bought after Romano Levi's death (01.05.2010) by an old friend of Levi and an investor of the town Neive. The aim is to maintain the tradition, art, and spirit of Levi in Neive. The technology and the barrels, on the other hand, are new to produce a high-quality, sophisticated grappa. Today's labels are all designs from Romano Levi's rich collection. And every year different motifs are used, so the passion for collecting Levi-Grappa can go into the next round.
