The art of distilling at the highest level Merano hosts something really unique right in the very heart of town: the Algund Kellerei distillery which has been housed in the same little independent building for 150 years. We replaced the old premises with a new one in 2015. Here, our master distiller uses the delicate process of distillation to create various top-quality Schnapps/Grappe .
‍
Schnapps has always played an important role in popular, local Tyrolese culture. From this particular “Acquavite”, we produce noble “Italian grappa”, a term reserved for acquavite distilled from the pressed, dried grape skins (pomace) of grapes grown and harvested exclusively in Italy and processed according to the very highest standards of quality.
‍
We use fresh, fully matured pomace for our production of Schnapps/grappa. Only the best quality pomace, in fact, produces the highly refined aroma which characterises our Schnapps/grappa. Single distillations are produced in our coper stills thanks to the slow distillation process which reflects long-standing local traditions.
