The story
Production started from Vincenzo Pilzer's idea in the 1950s; the company cites 1957 as its reference year. Today production is carried on by the second generation, brothers Bruno and Ivano Pilzer, who expanded the range and facilities while maintaining an artisanal, territory-focused approach.
Distillation
Discontinuous distillation in stills (pot still/lambicar) with controlled fraction separation to preserve aromas; fermentation of pomace in stainless steel tanks before distillation.
Ageing
Aging in wooden containers (barrique and large casks) and in steel depending on the lines; there are long-aged references (e.g., the Historiae line up to 12 years) and barrique lines (minimum 36 months for some labels).
Raw materials
- pomace (vinacce) from Trentino vineyards
- fruit (apricots, apples, pears, quinces) for eaux-de-vie
- alpine herbs and local botanicals for amari and flavored distillates
