Vernaccia brandy - Filu 'e Ferru.

Filu 'e Ferru, also known as Sardinian brandy, is a spirit that embodies the richness of Sardinian traditions, a fascinating history, and an unmistakable flavor. This unique product is more than just a beverage, but a true symbol of the island's culture, distinguished by its artisanal production method and the excellent quality of the raw materials used.

Origin and History

The birth of Filu 'e Ferru is shrouded in mystery and tradition. Its name, which literally means "iron wire" in Sardinian, originates from a clever practice employed by Sardinian producers to evade authorities during the Prohibition era. To hide the spirit, the bottles were buried, marked only by a wire emerging from the ground, hence the name.

Production Methods

Filu 'e Ferru is produced by distilling select Sardinian pomace, particularly that from the Vernaccia grape, which gives the distillate distinctive aromatic notes and an alcohol content that often exceeds 40%. Tradition dictates that in some areas of Sardinia, such as Ogliastra, lamb or goat rennet is added to the pomace to give the distillate an even more unique flavor and aroma.

Superb Quality

The quality of Filu 'e Ferru is the result of a careful selection of raw materials and a double distillation process that preserves the original aromas and flavors of the wines and pomace. After distillation, the spirit is aged in oak barrels for at least a year, thus acquiring complexity and smoothness.

Ingredients: grape marc distillate
