About Distilleria Alma
Distilleria Alma is the first distillery in Italy dedicated to rum production, located in Modica, in the southeast of Sicily. Founded by Annalisa Spadaro, Hugo Gallardo, and Alejandro Lopez, the distillery stands out for cultivating its own sugarcane, which is hand-harvested and processed, overseeing the entire journey from field to bottle.
This practice is the result of extensive research and analysis, reviving the tradition of sugarcane cultivation in Sicily, dating back to the 7th century. The distillery produces small batches of rum and gin using traditional distillation methods and high-quality local ingredients.
In addition to production, Distilleria Alma offers guided tours and tastings, providing visitors with insights into the distillation process and the opportunity to sample their products paired with the renowned Modica chocolate.
