Plum 500ml ZU PLUN

Plum 500ml ZU PLUN

<br />PLUM<br /><br />For the plum distillate of the Zu Plun distillery, only the plums typical of South Tyrolean mountain farms are used, which grow directly on the Plunhof farm at an altitude of<br />almost 1100 metres. In this climate, which is characterised by strong temperature fluctuations, small, compact fruits ripen with a more concentrated aroma than usual<br />cultivated plums. It is this aroma that should fully develop in the plum brandy, which is why the tree-ripe fruits are carefully pitted before further processing. The hand-picked<br />and prepared fruit is gently mashed. After natural fermentation without additives, the mash is distilled twice. The plum as a prime fruit constantly challenges master distiller<br />Rabanser to improve his art and to strive for perfection and balance - an idea that is also found in the motif of the label: A rhinoceros balancing a ball.<br /><br />Raw material: Local South Tyrolean farmer's plums, mainly own harvest from Plunhof.<br />Distillation method: discontinuous, double distilled, copper still heated in a water bath<br />Alcohol strength: 42 Vol%<br />Volume: 0,5 l<br />Colour/clarity: crystal clear, colourless<br />Nose: Fruity body with aromas of cinnamon and caramel<br />Palate: clean, soft style with delicate almond notes<br />Finish: length throughout, present typicity<br />Tip: A coherent combination with dark chocolate<br />

PLUM BRANDY OLD 500ml ZU PLUN

For the plum brandy from the Zu Plun distillery use is made exclusively of typical plums of South Tyrol farms, which are grown directly by Plunhof at about<br />1100 m altitude. The plums that grow in this climate characterised by strong temperature oscillations are small and compact, with a more concentrated aroma than common<br />fruits.

The fruit thus<br />handpicked and prepared is carefully mashed. After natural fermentation without additives the pulp is distilled twice. For the Plum Brandy Old the distillate is stored fort wo<br />years exclusively in an oak barrel, where it finally combines with the typical notes of cinnamon, caramel and vanilla.<br /><br />Raw material: local farmer's plums from South Tyrol, mostly Plunhof's own production<br />Distillation method: discontinuous, distilled twice, heated in a water bath using a copper still<br />Storage/ageing (Old): 3 years in a small oak barrel<br />Alcohol content: 42 Vol%<br />Content: 0.4 l<br />Colour/clearness: Bernstein-coloured distillate with glittering gold hues<br />Nose: Fruity body, plus aromas of cinnamon and caramel<br />Palate: clean, smooth stylistics with gentle almond note<br />Finish: persistent, outstandingly typical, outstanding, warm barrique tones<br />

Williams Spirit 500ml ZU PLUN

Williams Spirit 500ml ZU PLUN

<br />PEAR WILLIAMS DISTILLATE<br /><br />Pear Williams distillate. No other fruit type is more frequently distilled in our areas than the Williams pear - it is undisputedly the queen among more or less aromatic pip<br />fruit types. Williams is a favourite, although whoever tasted a glass of a true top quality distillate will find the large majority of common or garden pear brandies flat at best,<br />even artificial at worst. Top quality is seldom reached in the industry because substantial effort is required: the Williams pear for the Zu Plun distillate come from the<br />Burgraviato and lower Venosta area near Naturno. When they are picked they need to be much riper than the pears grown for eating. Only then do they release the<br />concentrated aroma which is captured in this distillate. Freshly picked and brightly coloured, these pears are immediately cored by hand in order to avoid unwanted bitter<br />tones, then mashed straight away: a labour-intensive process where time is of the essence. One bottle of this distillate contains the aroma of more than 8 kg of fruit pulp.<br /><br />Raw material: Williams pears from Naturno and Burgraviato, Lana<br />Distillation method: discontinuous, in a copper still<br />Storage/ageing: -<br />Alcohol content: 42% VOL.<br />Content: 0.5 l<br />Colour-clearness: clear and colourless<br />Nose: Fruity aromas of fully ripe Williams pears<br />Palate: Transparent, pure-toned fruit notes with distinctive depth, mellow and well-structured<br />Finish: the finish of the most elegant among the pip fruit types stands out with remarkable, persistent length and a distinctive pithy-tart touch.<br />

Bergamotto Fantastico 700ml...

Calabria and the Old Customs Warehouse were my life. Every day was like the first, we were engrossed in the work we loved more than anything else. We watched with<br />passion as Giocondo, who had a flair for everything in his trade, a man of few words and a master of life. The botanicals in his hands expressed extraordinary and<br />sometimes unthinkable things. The harvesting of bergamot and citron was a sacred time for him, and one that was sure to hold secrets. Jefferson was the most curious. He<br />would always try to follow him, most often surreptitiously, to try to understand what the secret was to producing such a natural and unique bergamot and citron liqueur. We<br />would leave, even before dawn, with his little cart and empty baskets to reach that magical place, even further south than the Old Customs Warehouse, four, maybe five<br />hours away. Once there, I was struck by the scents in that wonderful garden, something unique and magical. Giocondo with much patience and control began picking the<br />fruits one by one, which were sacred to him, he had a deep respect for the place. Once finished we set off for home, strangely enough I had the impression that it took much<br />less time than the outward journey, perhaps it was because of the desire to fulfil a dream. When we arrived, Giocondo wasted no time in starting the work. I still remember<br />his rough hands full of the essences of those wonderful fruits. He would complete the work by taking it to his 'Dark Room', no one could get in there. He always repeated:<br />'Silence!'. I always thought there was something secret and mysterious there. I hope that those who will be lucky enough to taste this liqueur will not seek explanations or<br />mathematical formulas, but will experience the passion, the emotions and the sacrifices of those who work the land every day to create this.<br /><br />Family heritage. So says the label. Products created by the skill of Maestro Giocondo, owner of the Vecchio Magazzino Doganale and expert in fruits, herbs and spices, but<br />above all adoptive father and guide of our characters. From his rough hands come Bergamotto Fantastico and Diamante Cedro, from a careful selection of the symbolic fruits<br />of Calabria: bergamot and cedar.<br />They enhance their character served cold and original in blends.<br /><br /><br /> L'Eredità di Famiglia <br />

Gil The Authentic Rural Gin...

Gil The Authentic Rural Gin...

Working with Giocondo was not easy, the days were intense to the end, he was a cursed Calabrese. I will never stop repeating 'cursed'... That year my back pain was<br />tormenting me more and more every day. My salvation, as usual, was Gil. The doctor found in Sila, by chance or luck, something unique and wonderful, a kind of mud that<br />he expertly heated in a container over hot coals. It was miraculous for my pain. The experience gained on one of his trips to London led him towards the creation of a<br />masterpiece. With the very rural technique of peating, he managed to distil an out-of-this-world 'peated' gin ... Too bad it was little.<br /><br />Gil Torbato Italiano. The only peated Gin in the world. A distillate born thanks to the richness of our territory, in Calabria, in the beautiful setting of Sila, we brought peat back<br />to light. In fact, some historical books speak of it as a real wealth. In an ancestral way, we combine our 'low altitude' juniper with peat to create Italian Torbato Gin, always<br />keeping faith with the rural distillation method. A true explosion of terroir. It will surprise in blending to give that unique peaty touch. Served neat it will leave its mark.<br /><br /> Rurale dalla Nascita. <br />
