Tridge summary

Italian grappas and distillates saw a strong performance in 2022, with a 15% increase in production and a turnover of 500 million, despite challenges such as EU measures to demonize spirit consumption and the suspension of the decree on the Consortia for the protection of spirit drinks.

However, grappa is gaining popularity among young consumers for its association with conviviality, pleasure, and tradition, thanks to marketing efforts by brands like Nonino.
