Our Story

When my family left Italy to start a new life in America, they brought more than memories—they brought the heart of our culture. I grew up in a family where every meal, every celebration, and every story was steeped in tradition. As the first generation born in the U.S., I felt the powerful connection between where we came from and where we were going. That connection became the heartbeat of Prova Spirits.

Nonna's Culinary Influence
If there was one place that felt like home, it was Nonna’s kitchen. The scents of fresh basil and zesty citrus, the hum of laughter, and the clinking of glasses filled the air. Nonna had a way of turning food into art, whether it was her perfectly spiced tomato sauce or her tangy orange marmalade. But it was her Limoncello that sparked something in me. That first sip planted a seed of inspiration that would grow into Prova.

The Birth of Prova Spirits
When I looked at Louisville’s bourbon scene, I saw an opportunity—a chance to bring something fresh and exciting to a city known for its spirits. Prova was born out of a desire to honor my family’s legacy while creating something new. Every bottle we craft is a tribute to the traditions passed down through generations, combined with a modern edge that’s uniquely ours.

Our Mission
Prova is more than a distillery—it’s a celebration of creativity and connection. Our mission is to share the flavors and stories that inspire us, one handcrafted bottle at a time. Join us as we redefine Louisville’s spirit scene and toast to the future of cocktails.
