A very special year,
\nthanks everyone….<\/h2>\n

One year. Such a short time frame, but exciting, busy, and adventurous as we could never imagine.<\/p>\n

Altamura Distilleries turns one year old today; it was February 24, 2022 when we celebrated our Brand launch at the exclusive Paragon 700 in Ostuni.<\/p>\n

Even then, we knew that we had created a one of a kind vodka, authentic, soft on the palate but strong with the terroir from which it comes.<\/p>\n

What we didn’t imagine was all the rest: travels, events, awards, and successes; people, handshakes, smiles, enthusiasm, new friendships and business partners…<\/p>\n

The first 365 days have become just the starting point of something really big.<\/p>\n

Since that day our Premium Vodka has been awarded five gold medals in some of the most noted and important international contests. These awards are important because they recognize our passion and the choices we have made, not only in business but also in life,<\/p>\n

This is a journey that took us from the United States to Puglia, our new home. And in just one year, from this fantastic region our vodka reached all of Italy; then beyond to unexplored and fascinating roads: the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, India… and the rest of the world awaits.<\/p>\n

Thanks? We have so many, how could we not.<\/p>\n

We are grateful above all to our loved ones, extraordinary people who have always supported us and demonstrated their closeness in their words and deeds.<\/p>\n

Thanks to our team, a fantastic family that grows day by day, a team that puts its soul and expertise into making Altamura Distilleries an absolutely unique brand.<\/p>\n

Thanks to our Italian and international distribution partners that have chosen us and are helping to make us present both here at home and abroad in the best venues dedicated to the art of drinking well; and to the mixologists who mix and serve our Premium Vodka with skill and originality.<\/p>\n

But above all, our most sincere thanks go to all those who have tasted our product and were enthusiastic about it, immediately recognizing the exclusive qualities of this Vodka.<\/p>\n

We are sure they will continue to enjoy this truly unique product as much as we will.<\/p>\n
