The distillery Paolazzi Vittorio

Activity: Craft production of Grappa, Bitters and Liqueurs

The distillery Paolazzi Vittorio was founded in 1962 in Faver in Cembra Valley to continue the family tradition of “lambicar”, today carried on by the son Martino. After the First World War, the distillation of pomace had become illegal and performed in Cembra clandestinely: it was a risky operation that allowed, however, the survival of a very hard and poor peasant economy. It’s for this reason that the dialect term “lambicar” takes on the double meaning that is “Art to produce grappa (distilled)” and “lead a life of hardship and toils in poor rural reality.”
