One Hundred Years with Spirit… and a Toast of Grappa!

In Busto Arsizio, the 100th birthday of Silvio Pietro Crespi has just been celebrated. Lively and good-humoured, he reached this remarkable milestone with his trademark wit. 

Asked about the secret of his long life, Silvio answers without hesitation: “Grappa, wine and women!” A witty remark that brings a smile, yet once again confirms what we often share on Grappa.com: more and more Italian centenarians point to a small glass of Grappa as a precious ally for a long life, well lived. 

Between one toast and the next, Silvio continues to enjoy his days with a light heart, showing that perhaps the true secret lies in facing time with joy… and a fine spirit in the glass. 

To Silvio Pietro Crespi, our warmest wishes on this wonderful 100-year milestone, with the hope that he may keep toasting to life for many years to come!
