Pilzer Distillery | Trento
The art of distillation requires more than technical skill - it thrives on intuition, dedication and a deep understanding of the nature of the fruit. In the Val di Cembra, where crystal-clear streams and steep vineyard slopes form a rugged, pristine landscape, Distilleria Pilzer has been dedicated to this art for over 60 years. Founded by Vincenzo Pilzer, the distillery is now run with the same passion by his sons Ivano and Bruno. While Ivano devotes his time to the business in Faver, Bruno also teaches at the renowned Istituto Agrario di San Michele - proof of the extent to which Pilzer's knowledge of distillation is combined with hands-on practice and the passing on of experience.
This attitude is impressively reflected in their brandies. The Pilzer grappas are puristic and full of character - almost exclusively single-varietal and distilled without the influence of wood, they emphasize the originality and typicality of each grape variety. Away from short-lived trends, honest, unadulterated distillates are produced here in small, handcrafted editions that impress with their clarity, depth and precision. Anyone looking for grappa in its most authentic form will find a piece of the distilling tradition of Trentino in the spirits of Distilleria Pilzer. - Gerardo [TS06/25]
