Filu' e Ferru Acquavite di Vernaccia Silvio Carta

Filu 'e Ferru by Silvio Carta is the Sardinian brandy, so called for the method used centuries ago to hide the distillate from the police, during the period of prohibition, when it was produced clandestinely. The containers were buried and found again thanks to an iron wire that protruded from the ground.

The brandy comes from the distillation of selected Vernaccia pomace, which is left to ferment in special containers and only after a month of fermentation undergo a first distillation with passage in a current of steam. After resting for about two months, they are distilled again, this time in a discontinuous copper alembic, paying the utmost attention to the separation between the head and the tails of the distillate, so as to allocate only the finest part of the product to bottling. The refinement takes place in precious Sardinian chestnut barrels.

Transparent and clear in the glass, the nose recalls the aromas of Vernaccia. The sip is savory, soft and delicate.

It is drunk neat at room temperature.
