Tasting notes
Colorless and crystal clear. The fragrance is very intense on the nose. It reminds you of sweet almond and marzipan.
Distillation
as soon as the fermentation is finished, the distillation uses its discontinuous bain-marie still, a brand new concept which the owners themselves have worked on. At the end of the distillation process we obtain a high grade brandy (70 ° – 73 °), which is placed in special stainless steel tanks waiting for subsequent processing. The average yield in alcohol is around 3% which corresponds to 50 – 60 grams of sugar per kg of fruit.
