The Grappa di Ruta from Pilzer distillery represents an intriguing example in the world of spirits. This grappa is produced in Trentino, a region renowned for the excellence of its grappas, using artisanal techniques that honor local tradition. The uniqueness of this grappa lies in the infusion of Ruta (Ruta graveolens), an aromatic herb with an intense and pungent scent, known for its digestive properties.

The distillation process follows rigorous methods to preserve the aroma and properties of the ruta. The grappa is distilled in copper stills, following the traditional bain-marie methodology. This method allows for slow and low-temperature distillation, essential for capturing the most pure and delicate essence of the herb.

Visually, Pilzer's Ruta grappa is clear and crystalline, inviting with its brilliance. On the nose, the characteristic aroma of ruta is immediately evident, with herbal notes that blend harmoniously with the sweeter, softer scents of the grappa. On the palate, it enters decisively, offering a surprising complexity: a balance between the warmth of the alcohol and the freshness of the herbal notes. The finish is clean, with a long and pleasantly aromatic persistence.

Perfect to serve at the end of a meal as a digestive, this grappa is also ideal for creating sophisticated cocktails. Its unique character and digestive qualities make it an excellent companion for those who wish to conclude their meal with a refined and traditionally Italian touch. Pilzer's Grappa di Ruta is not just a spirit, but a true sensory experience that enhances the distilling tradition of Trentino with a distinctive aromatic twist.
