\u201cSometimes we feel we work in a little world of our own, looking out over a winding valley. The valley bears the marks of thousands of years of erosion by water. That same water, turned to steam, warms the grape pomace, releasing its alcohol and aromas to make a fine grappa or a fragrant eau-de-vie.\u201d

We found these words on the website of one of Italy\u2019s best-known distilleries. They give a sense of how much care Pilzer puts into its work.
Distilling is an ancient craft that takes patience, technique, knowledge and ingenuity. It takes more than fresh grape pomace to make fine grappa. It also takes the skill to bring out its most delicate aromas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pilzer Distillery<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Pilzer Distillery<\/strong> owes its craft to two parents who taught their children respect, responsibility and gratitude.
They aimed to do their best and set themselves goals worth working towards.
The family began its journey in the Cembra Valley in 1956.
What followed was a quiet, exciting challenge. It took courage to produce grappa and eau-de-vie of such finesse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The craft of lambicar<\/em>\u2014more than a livelihood in the Cembra Valley\u2014was passed down from father to son.
Distilling takes both learning and planning. You have to work in the present while looking ahead and staying open to new ideas. It is a passion that keeps challenging those who practise lambicar<\/em> with dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distillery Pilzer<\/a> \u2013 it all starts with a still<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Italy, every distillery starts with a still.
The still is at the heart of each distillery and of the family\u2019s dream. The families value their history and traditions, the fragrances of what grows on their land, and the quality of what they make.
Distillers learn their craft with patience and dedication, year after year. They bring out the qualities hidden in their ingredients and turn them into something to savour. Like any art, distilling reminds us how much we need beauty and flavour.
The craft goes beyond the daily work.
As Francis of Assisi is said to have put it: A person who works with their hands is a labourer. A person who works with their hands and their head is a craftsperson. A person who works with their hands, their head and their heart is an artist.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
