Vinaccia di Nittardi is distilled from the gently pressed fresh pomace of the Sangiovese grapes grown at Nittardi. In the same day that the juicy pulp is pressed, the pomace brought to the Distilleria Pilzer, a little family-run distillery in the Valle di Cembra close to Trento, where it is immediately distilled to approx. 70% alcohol. To achieve the desired alcohol content of 42%, Distilleria Pilzer distills and adds the pure water of the Cembra Valley. Finally, the grappa is filtered at a temperature of minus 8° C (17.6° F) and then filled in 0.7-liter bottles.
