What you can expect

Visit a berry distillery in Tempio Pausania, north-eastern Sardinia, for an experience that will delight the palate.
The producer will welcome you to his property surrounded by greenery, at the foot of Mount Limbara, where you will breathe in the mountain air and learn about his unique products created in the distillery, whose history and secrets are linked to the creation of unique spirit drinks. The tasting will be accompanied by typical Sardinian sweet and savoury products, for an intoxicating experience recommended both to enthusiasts and to those who wish to approach this world of new and unparalleled flavours for the first time.

Farm

The company, the only one in Sardinia in the cultivation and sale of fresh berries, is located in the countryside of Tempio Pausania, at the foot of Monte Limbara, amidst olive trees and berry plants.
It was established following in-depth studies of the climate and the nature of the terrain, the search for innovative initiatives for the territory, and the need to use the surplus of berries, the result of a painstaking selection process that gave rise to three different distillates:

  • Lìcchitta, a distillate of blueberries, white and red gooseberries, blackberries, white and red currants, which is unique because, at present, there are only single-fruit distillates on the world market;
  • Melalione, a distillate of arbutus, a fruit of the Mediterranean maquis, historically proposed as a white distillate, today also represents a 'unicum' because it is characterised by six months of ageing in acacia barriques
  • Làndhe, which represents the utmost expression of innovation and uniqueness, as it is a raw material that has never before been distilled in the world, a gluten - free, starchy and wild fruit, originates a 100% cork acorn distillate, with no added sugar, no caramel and no passage in wood. The very low acorn yield and the uniqueness of the product place acorn brandy in a narrow niche market.

Programme

  • The guided experience begins with a short walk through the berry orchard and an explanation of the berry distillate.
  • Afterwards, upon entering the distillery, the guide will tell about the strawberry distillate and briefly introduce the small farm.
  • This will be followed by an explanation of the acorn distillate and all the machinery in the distillery and its use.
  • In conclusion, there will be a tasting session with samples of all three distillates accompanied by sweet and savoury pairings.
  • At the end of the visit, the guide will accompany participants back to the meeting place.

Tasting

The tasting includes the tasting of three locally produced distillates of Licchìtta, - Melalione and Làndhe distillate ('acorn' in Sardinian). The tasting will be served with amaretti and tilicche (typical Sardinian and artisanal sweets made with honey and oranges) and semi-matured cheeses.
Water and soft drinks such as Coca Cola and Fanta will also be available.
