Product description
Soft organic wheat and spealt used in the creation of VKA is grown in Tuscany, Italy from sustainable agriculture. Distilled in the same region with four double effect continuous vacuum columns, the distillate is then sent to Firenzuola, north of Florence, where it is blended with filtered Mugello mountains spring water, and bottled in an essential transparent glass Tuscan style bottle. Packaging has the same essential style and attention to eco-compatibility and organic materials.[2]
The letter A in the logo is written as an upside-down V, so the Greek letter lambda (Λ) is sometimes used as a replacement: VKΛ.
