Nannoni Grappe: Top distillates from Tuscany

Master distiller and owner Priscilla Occhipinti has continually improved the company’s international reputation over the years with the same enthusiasm and sensitivity as her mentor, Gioacchino Nannoni. She has been personally responsible for these top-quality products for almost 25 years, and as one of the few women working in this industry, she is responsible for the entire journey of the product from the vineyard to the bottle.

Gioacchino Nannoni came up with the idea for the first ‘Grappa di Fattoria’ in the 1970s. This ‘farm grappa’ has been certified to indicate that it is distilled using its own fresh pomace from the respective grape producers. Since 2011, the company has been producing its own ranges under the brand name ‘Nannoni Grappe’, which is, however, limited to elite markets due to the very limited availability of top-quality pomace. Only fresh materials are used and processed within 48 hours. Distilling takes place just 60 days a year; gin, whisky and amaro are produced in the remaining months. “It’s an incredible amount of work for two months, day and night, but it’s also sort of a game,” says Priscilla, who is not only proud of the numerous awards (more than 165 international gold medals in ten years), but also the many visitors who come from all over the world.

At the World Spirits Award, there was silver for Gingillo Rosa, Gin Capricorno and Grappa d’Oro Riserva, and bronze for L’Estate and Acquavite Bacco per Venere.

Manufaktur Jörg Geiger: Dedication and perfection – Swabian virtues

Jörg Geiger, autodidact and cook, discovered his fascination for meadow fruit and producing drinks with them at an early age at his parents’ family enterprise. This led to a deep passion when it came to old types of apples and pears, their cultivation and processing. Sustainable, nature-preserving work is what drives him as a constant motivation. His focus is on preserving healthy soil, ancient trees and traditional types, building a new appreciation for the harvest and making meadow orchard owners proud once more. He also conveys this in monthly YouTube videos.

All the products bear testimony to originality, craftsmanship and dedication. From alcohol-free to complex and even rather crazy recipes, there is something to suit every taste. The production facility has developed an exciting and varied spectrum of meadow fruit specialities through Swabian ambition and diligence, as well as through Jörg Geiger’s skills.

FRUCHTVOL. liqueurs as diverse as the seasons are new to the range. Double-distilled grape brandies are combined with fully ripe fruit and balanced by hand with herbs, flowers and spices. One can choose the spring-like cherry liqueur, refined with sloe, dandelion and elderberry. Or perhaps the summery quince liqueur, with hay flowers, acacia blossoms and garden herbs. There is also the autumnal blackcurrant liqueur, with lavender blossoms and coriander, followed by the intense wintery damson liqueur with cinnamon, cloves and star anise.

At the World Spirits Award, there was gold for Fruchtvol. Johannisbeerlikör (blackcurrant liqueur), silver for Fruchtvol. Quittenlikör (quince liqueur), and bronze for Fruchtvol. Kirschenlikör (cherry liqueur).

Georg Hemmeter – XUXU, Escorial, SILLA EL FUERTE

Georg Hemmeter – strawberry drinks with exceptional flavour guaranteed

The name Georg Hemmeter – a company of the Underberg Group – stands for innovative spirits, in particular the XUXU range. The fresh and fruity strawberry drink contains 66 percent fruit plus crystal-clear vodka, rounded off with a dash of lime. The harmony between the sweetness of the fruit and just 15% alcohol by volume is created using a special production method. XUXU Ten, the little luxury in a 250 ml aluminium bottle with only 10% alcohol by volume, is dressed to party – it is still relatively new to the market, yet is already at home in all the world’s top party venues.
XUXU can be served in so many different ways: chilled, neat, on crushed ice, as a dessert topping, with sparkling wine or with other mixers – XUXU tastes heavenly and offers fresh and fruity pleasure. Welcome to Berrydise!

Initially the absolute top star in Greece, XUXU is now also number 1 in Russia, and extremely popular in Turkey and Italy too.


XUXU Strawberry & Vodka Drink and XUXU Ten won Gold at the World Spirits Award 2014.

Prevelon: Premium vodka by order of the Kremlin

Kremlin Premium Vodka was created as the official drink for all diplomatic receptions and banquets at the Kremlin and was intended as the hallmark of high-ranking events. The decision in favour of the most traditional Russian drink was unanimous. It was only produced on special order and in limited amounts. The first large batch of this ‘protocol’ vodka was ordered in February 1945 for the Yalta Conference. Kremlin Award Grand Premium came on the market in 2011 and is exported to 38 countries, and in many of them it holds the top position in the ultra-premium vodka category. Since 2016, the product range has included Kremlin Award Classic, which enjoys great popularity amongst all partners.

Two products have been added to the product range. Kremlin Award Organic is based on alcohol that is produced from the highest quality organic wheat, and on natural drinking water. The vodka passes through a multi-stage purification through pure birchwood charcoal. The alcohol for Kremlin Award Vintage is made from organic grains from the same harvest. The wheat grains are stored in a grain silo until they reach their physiological maturity in order to get a high-quality base product. The ‘luxury alcohol’ is then mixed with natural drinking water and, after purification, is granted a resting period. Production is limited to the year stated on the label.

At the World Spirits Award, there was gold for Kremlin Award Organic and Kremlin Award Vintage.
