Founded by the Bucco family, who came from Udne, Italy, where they produced Grappa. In Brazil, these Italian immigrants created the still and produced cachaças, liqueurs, grappas, and fine wines. Today, Moacir A. Menegotto and his family bought the distillery and the Casa Bucco brand, although they do not have the Bucco surname. The copper still is of the "Charante" type, separating the three phases of distillation, where the head and tail are eliminated, using only the heart, stored in stainless steel tanks for white "Prata" cachaça, or aged in oak and Brazilian wood barrels.
