Founded in the late 1800’s, four generations of the Quaglia family have guided the business through more than a century of artisan production, modernising it where needed whilst cherishing the older, traditional methods of distilling. The distillery was established just after the Unification of Italy in 1871 between Monferrato and the hills towards Turin.
It was Giuseppe Quaglia, the knight, who first purchased the property and in 1906 built a well for water supply and an industrial-sized boiler to produce vapour. The great-grandson of the original Giuseppe, Carlo, is the most recent to take over the business. His enthusiasm for the exquisite quality of Quaglia products, is evident in his move to enrich the choice of rare, unique creations without ever overlooking the Distillery’s core values of artisanal excellence and the use of high-quality, natural primary products. These beautiful liqueurs and grappas have such purity of flavour, with a perfect balance of intensity and delicacy.
This Quaglia, Italian Espresso Coffee Liqueur, Ninebar liqueur is made with handmade espresso, single origin 100% Arabica from Brazil, toasted over low heat using only birch wood.
