The Marzadro Distillery is an Italian family run company created at the end of World War II. Its birth and evolution follows closely the economic transformation of Italy and the modernization of its means of production, in particular in the Northern part of the country. The company is located in the historical region for the production of grappa. Together with other distilleries in the regions of Trentino, Veneto, Friuli, Piemonte and Lombardia has made important contributions that have changed the character of this liquor from an ammazzacaffè to a liquor worthy of international recognition. Initially, the distillery operated only locally, distilling pomace to produce grappa and other liquor. Currently it benefits from a national and international network of distribution.
Beginning of the twentieth century. The Family Marzadro operated mainly in the agricultural sector. Due to significant losses in agriculture during World War II, a drop estimated at about 25% compared to 1938 throughout Italy,[1] the family business shifts towards the more profitable agro-industrial sector.
1949 Sabina starts the distillation of grappa using 2 direct fire batch dilators while her younger brother Attilio, is charged with sales.[2] The initiative taken by Sabina reflects the change in status and employment of women in Italy following World War II.[3]
