Domenis 1898

The distillery uses copper steam stills for its core production, a traditional method in which the spirit vapour passes through copper vessels during distillation, drawing out and refining the aromatic compounds from the raw material. This heritage in copper-still distillation underpins the brand's approach to its alcohol-free botanical range, which uses similar botanical logic to produce spirits at 0.0% with gin-like and bitter aperitif profiles.

The original brand underwent a corporate restructuring in 2016, resulting in the current Domenis 1898 identity, which carries the historic name forward as a signal of distilling continuity. The Storica grappa line, launched in 1986, remains a significant reference point in the brand's history and a marker of its established position within Italian spirits production.

For sober-curious drinkers who want the complexity of botanically distilled spirits without the alcohol, Domenis 1898 brings genuine distilling heritage to the AF category. The brand sits within a wider Italian appetite for sophisticated low- and zero-alcohol alternatives to the aperitif and digestif traditions that define Italian drinking culture.
