Veltliner grappa. Veltliner, better known in Austria as Grüner Veltliner, has been cultivated since Roman times. It thrives on lean as well as on nutrient-rich soils, but needs a sunny autumn at the end of ripening to develop its full aroma potential. In South Tyrol, the winegrowers of the Valle Isarco have specialised in its cultivation and produce wines of fruity spiciness with notes that reach into the peppery, reminiscent of wildflowers and meadow herbs on the nose. This complex interplay of aromas also makes Zu Plun's Veltliner Grappa a particularly interesting distillate. The marc for this single-varietal speciality also comes from the Eisack Valley, from the cultivation area around the Neustift monastery.
