Fil'e Ferru Acquavite di Vinacce 0.7L

Fil'e Ferru is an Acquavite di Vinacce, a pomace brandy made from the pressing residues of winemaking, produced by Bresca Dorada on Sardinia. A grappa with history in its name.

The name goes back to moonshining in the former Kingdom of Italy. To avoid confiscation, the secretly distilled grappa was buried in bottles. An iron wire (filo di ferro) was attached to each bottle, which was the only thing sticking out of the ground. This is how it could be found again.

In the glass, you expect what defines a pomace brandy: the scent of grape skins and seeds, a clear, dry structure, and a warm, spicy finish. Serve it neat in a small tulip glass at 8 to 12 °C. It pairs classically after a meal, with an espresso, or on a social evening when you tell the story behind the iron wire.
