ISTARSKA KAPLJICA d.o.o.

Description

For generations, our elders in Istria have been producing homemade komovica brandy from malvasia grape pomace – the byproduct of winemaking. This is how Grandpa Eufemio, popularly known as Uncle Nucio, dedicated his entire working life to wine and brandy production in the picturesque hamlet of Cerijani. Traditionally, the brandy was distilled in a so-called *lambik*, a simple version of today’s modern stills, and this tradition is now continued by the grandson of the aforementioned Eufemio at the OPG Goran Špehar distillery.

As lovers of Istria and its flavors and aromas, we embarked on producing a higher-quality grape brandy made exclusively from whole grape berries from our estate. With the addition of natural ingredients such as honey, mistletoe, walnut, truffle, and bilberry, this distillate forms the basis for producing a wide range of premium-quality preparations under the name *Istarska Kapljica* brandy. Production takes place near the village of Kaštelir in Cerijani, which is completely immersed in untouched nature, contributing to the quality of the products. Cheers!
