RAU Distilleria Filuferru Aquavite di Vinaccia 926

Filu ‘e ferru – the quintessential Sardinian grappa

Filu “e ferru (Filuferru) or Aquavite di vinacce a la sarda is deeply rooted in the way of life of the Sardinian people. Filu'e ferru is Sardinian for ”iron wire’ and goes back to the old days of moonshining. To allow the illicitly distilled grappa to mature undetected, it was often buried outside the house. To make it easier to find again when needed, a piece of iron wire was stuck in the ground at the spot. The fine Sardinian grappa has kept the name to this day.

Like the grappa from the Distilleria RAU, the Filuferru is made from fine grape marc according to an old tradition. Its taste is wonderfully fruity and intense with light herbal notes reminiscent of the Sardinian maquis.

Filu ‘e ferru is often enjoyed in Sardinia in the afternoons on the beach with an espresso. However, it is also a fine digestive and an excellent alternative to classic grappa.
