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.
