As there have been a few obituaries in this NG recently, it might be useful to add that on 2nd May, Romano Levi passed away in his home town of Neive, Piemont, where he had build a legendary reputation as a grappa distiller over the last half century.
His bottles with the odd, handmade "donna selvatica" label have been collectors' items for years.
There seem to be plans to turn his home & workshop into a grappa museum.
