Distillation and production

Distillation and production

Production method

Artisanal production with fermentations and distillation according to traditional 'lambicar' techniques. The company uses renovated discontinuous stills (pot-still) and processes that favor a gentle distillation to preserve varietal aromas of pomace and fruit.

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).

Producer history Pilzer

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.

Production philosophy

Pilzer defines distillation as an 'art and craft': respect for local tradition (Val di Cembra) combined with innovation and experimentation. Attention is given to regional raw materials and to preserving typical aromas through traditional distillation practices.

Territory

Val di Cembra, Municipality of Faver, Province of Trento (Trentino).
