Cherry Brandy is a refined and sensual distilled spirit that captures the essence of ripe cherries with a mastery that speaks of the long tradition and savoir-faire of its creators. This 50cl bottle is an excellent example of how the fruit can be transformed into a rich and aromatic liquor, ideal for a variety of occasions.
The distillation occurs following traditional methods, with careful selection of the sweetest and juiciest cherries. These are then left to macerate for a period that can vary from several weeks to months, depending on the producer, to extract all the natural aromas of the fruit. The alcohol used is of high quality, which ensures a smooth and clean base that does not overpower the fruit's flavors.
On the palate, Cherry Brandy is distinguished by its smoothness and the intense cherry note that pervades every drop. In addition to the predominant cherry taste, one can detect subtle hints of vanilla and delicate spices, contributing to a pleasantly complex and lingering aftertaste.
Visually, the liquor has a deep and attractive ruby-red color, making it also a delight for the eyes. It is perfect to serve as a digestif at the end of a meal or used as an ingredient to enrich both innovative and traditional cocktails.
Therefore, this Cherry Brandy is an excellent choice for those looking for a distilled spirit that offers a robust taste and sophisticated aromatic complexity. It is also an ideal gift for quality spirits enthusiasts or for those who wish to add a touch of class and tradition to their table or liquor collection.

The story
The production history is tied to the Zarri family: in the 1950s Leonida Zarri took over the Pilla company (active in Venice) and the activity later moved near Villa Zarri. Production of Villa Zarri Brandy as an artisanal label is traced back to the 1980s (the Villa Zarri brandy was launched in 1986) and the first bottle was placed on the market in the early 1990s under the guidance of Guido Fini Zarri.
Distillation
Batch two-phase method with a copper Charentais still; the heart of the distillate is separated and preserved.
Ageing
Ageing in small French oak casks (350 L Limousin barrels); vintage assemblages for blends; for some vintages finishing/ageing in Marsala barrique.
