Tasting Notes: This unique vodka offers a soft, creamy texture that immediately coats the palate, delivering a clean and elegant expression of its core ingredient. The nose presents gentle aromas of fresh baked bread, vanilla bean, and a hint of toasted grain, subtly suggesting the rich Pane di Altamura from which it derives. On the palate, these notes deepen into a full-bodied experience characterized by a slightly sweet, mineral-driven smoothness and a long, balanced finish.
Estate History: Altamura Distilleries was founded to create a premium spirit that celebrates the unique heritage of the Puglia region, specifically the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Altamura durum wheat.

The distillery prides itself on using sustainable practices and mineral-rich water drawn from local aquifers to produce a vodka that serves as a modern expression of historical Italian agriculture. They aim to capture the essence of their Southern Italian location in every bottle.
