A juicy, refreshing Grappa, made with Pinot Noir grapes. This has a wonderful aromas of Raspberries and Blackberries and is perfect for helping you to digest after a big lunch.
Pilzer looks out for the very best raw materials, saying ‘You cannot make a good Grappa from poor grapes’. Another of Pilzer’s ‘secrets’ came from a visit to Scotland many years ago: “I saw that in the production of whisky, they dispensed with the ‘heads’ and ‘tails’ of the distillate, as these contained greater levels of unclean higher alcohols.
Although this is not standard in the production of Grappa, when we introduced it we found we produced a much cleaner grappa.” Each variety is distilled in a different way in order to retain as much of the character of the grape as possible. The Grappe are then held in tank at a high alcohol level until just before bottling to keep them fresh.
To ensure that every glass has the traditional Sorrento taste, only Lemons from Sorrento PGI are permitted in this fantastic Lemoncello. The whole Lemon is used and this is perfect served chilled after dinner. A little advice- don't leave the bottle on the table, unless you are prepared to finish it!
