VKA is a premium brand vodka produced in Italy from organic wheat and spelt and Tuscan Apennines water. It was founded in 2013 by a group of entrepreneurs in Mugello, gathered around the name of Futa Pass. The Maître de Chai for VKA is Luca Pecorini a renowned restaurant owner, who developed the original recipe for the vodka in Barberino di Mugello.[1] It is distributed in Asia, the Czech Republic and Italy.[2]

Product description

[edit]

Soft organic wheat and spelt used in the creation of VKA are 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 mountain spring water, and bottled in a Tuscan-style transparent glass bottle. The 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.
