Pilzer Distillery | Trento
Distilling is a high art that requires profound knowledge, patience, attention to detail and a modicum of imagination. For 60 years, Distilleria Pilzer has proven to have an abundance of all this. Crystal-clear streams and steep slopes where grapes thrive frame the archaic-looking landscape of the Val di Cembra. Two indispensable conditions for the distillation of first-class grappa. No wonder that this area has always been known for excellent master distillers and equally excellent grappas. Vincenzo Pilzer, the founder of Distilleria Pilzer, was one of these master distillers. His work is continued today by his sons Bruno and Ivano Pilzer. While Ivano concentrates fully on the family business, Bruno also teaches distilling at the renowned 'Istituto Agrario di San Michele'. In every sip of Grappa Pilzer you can feel it, the deep affinity for viticulture and distilling rooted in daily life. - Gerardo

Pilzer Distillery | Trento | Buy at Gerardo
The small Pilzer distillery is located in the small town of Faver, in the heart of Trentino, and is run with passion by the brothers Ivano and Bruno Pilzer. The Pilzer grappas are something special, far from fashion trends or the mass market. Mainly single-varietal and distilled without the use of wood, they are particularly pure-toned distillates with clear varietal character and typicity. The Pilzer brandies show a clear edge: they are honest, unadulterated and always straightforward. - Gerardo
