Pilzer Ginpilz
£31.95
The wine
Bruno Pilzer wanted a pure product reflecting the complex forests of the area, something recognisably of the place.
Ginpilz is a gin built on the botanicals of the Trentino mountains rather than the standard London template, made by a distiller whose day job is grappa. Juniper grows wild across those forests, which is a rarer thing than most gin labels would suggest. Pilzer distil at Faver in the Val di Cembra, a steep terraced valley in Trentino, where Bruno Pilzer works from single-variety pomace delivered fresh from local growers.

View all Pilzer winesPilzer is a small, family-run mountain distillery in the Val di Cembra of Trentino, crafting some of Italy most refined grappa. Three generations have distilled here, high in the Dolomite foothills, with a purist devotion to their alpine craft.
Working with fresh grape pomace from local Trentino varieties, the family distils in small batches using traditional methods, capturing the delicate aromatics of each grape. Pure mountain water and patient artistry define the house style.
The range showcases single-variety grappe from Nosiola, Moscato Giallo, Pinot Nero and Traminer, each fragrant and remarkably smooth, alongside the aromatic, botanical Ginpilz alpine gin.
Elegant, clean and beautifully perfumed, Pilzer spirits are a distillery of real distinction, the perfect refined conclusion to a fine meal.
