Magic Animal
About Magic Animal:
Giovanni La Fauci (Giovi) is a maker at heart and Distilleria Giovi is the outlet for his primary joy, distilling. He officially got started in 1987 at the age of 28, (although he had been distilling since 9 and built his first still at 13) with a small amount of money borrowed from this mother. His father allowed him to build a still in his brick making factory and Giovi immediately became known for his high quality grappas. The keys to his success are the handmade still, built with old copper, which gives better heat transmission and a rounder texture, and a unique method he invented himself for dilution. The water they use is from a spring on Mt. Etna, and they filter it themselves so it is ultra pure. He now makes gin and vodka as well, although these are the passion of his son, Giuseppe, who has joined the family business. Everything is made naturally, without any added sugar or colorants.
