Capovilla Last Century Pere Williams: a special distillation

The Capovilla Last Century Williams pear brandy is part of four special distillations created by maestro Gianni Capovilla at the end of last century for a friend who died prematurely. The entire stock, put aside since then, was rediscovered and selected by Luca Gargano, who gave it the name Century, referring to the fact that the bottlings date back to the late 1990s.

This fine brandy is the result of the distillation of Williams pears, from ancient plants cultivated in the areas surrounding the Levico and Caldonazzo lakes. The pears, harvested at the right time of ripeness, are left to ferment spontaneously and are then subjected to a double-pass bain-marie distillation process.
