When in 1947 Ignaz Unterthurner founded Marlengo at Merano his distillery in the august residence Priami, he had the idea of ​​capturing the spirit of the fruits that thrive in this mild and sunny area of ​​South Tyrol and to ennoble it. Later the distillery was managed by his son Alois Unterthurner and his wife Christine von Pföstl. The basic idea was always that. From the traditional grappa of vinacce of Lagrein grapes, aromatic traminer or pink muscat, to the quince of apple, to the bruises, blackberries or elderberry, to the liqueurs of chestnuts or currant, up to the Waldler, the original unterthurner raspberry sprints ...
