About Altamura Distilleries Vodka:
Altamura Distilleries vodka stands out in a crowded category by focusing on origin and raw ingredients, crafted from 100% ancient durum wheat grown in the Altamura region of Puglia, Italy—a grain with over 2,000 years of history that brings a rare sense of terroir to vodka; rather than aiming for complete neutrality, it delivers a smooth, slightly creamy and grain-forward profile with subtle notes of almond, vanilla, and a light peppery finish, making it a favorite among bartenders for its ability to add body and texture to cocktails like martinis and espresso martinis without overpowering them, while its slightly higher 43% ABV gives it added structure and presence, reinforcing its reputation as a refined, ingredient-driven, super-premium vodka.
