The Italian translation of due’ means two. due’ Chardonnay vodka is hand crafted in Italy, combining grain & grape giving this spirit a distinctive taste.  Six soft grains are used to produce the vodka. Chardonnay grapes, with a hint of oak, are then added prior to the distilling process. due’ is quadruple distilled & filtered through charcoal & Italian marble to result in superbly pure vodka. The distinguishing essence of grapes adds hints floral & fruit notes.


A sparkling Italian wine, fresh & fruity, with hint of Pinor Noir. Perfect for summer.

A remarkable blend of 90% Merlot & 10% Alicante, sweet cherry, licorice herb aromas on the nose. Rich & full on the palate, well balanced, with a clean finish.

A scrumptious blend of rich cocoa, dark chocolate & Grappa.
Serve chilled, drizzled over desserts, in coffee, or create delectable chocolate martinis.
